Sunday School
Besides being a student and a mom and Zule's unpaid admin, I also teach senior high religious education. Today, no senior high kids showed up, but I had a few refugees from the middle school program and a tiny squirrel that fell out of a tree during our awful storms yesterday. One of the kids in my class is in 7th grade, and is a little skater kid and goes to a private school his parents pay 15K a year for. He always has awful stories during check-in time, b/c many of his friends are killed in skateboarding accidents, apparently. Also, about four months ago, he set himself on fire, and ended up in the hospital for a week, so I'm always a bit leery of letting him light the chalice candle at the beginning of class. But he was very tender with the baby squirrel and we finally found someone in the congregation who was a certified squirrel caretaker person. The squirrel was super cute. It did not like being set down and wanted to be held the entire time.
