Apropos of yesterday's post, the kid comes home from school yesterday, and we're having our afternoon bonding session (this is where we lie on my bed and discuss her day at school out of Herr Dr. Delagar's hearing, because he gets way too involved and angsty and, as the kid puts it, "gets on her" about minor events that I just find funny).
Anyway, after she told me who got in trouble today and who did not and who was a suck to the teacher and who was not and all the usual Upper El dramas, she added, "And Merry! Listen to what Merry said!"
Me: What?
The Kid: Merry said her daddy told her [imitates Merry's voice] that every little girl is Jesus' bride.
Me: (sitting up slowly): What?
The Kid: Her daddy says --
Me: What?
The Kid: She said her daddy told her that every little girl is Jesus' bride.
Me: (Staring at her.)
The Kid: (With satisfaction): That's what I said.
(May I add that Merry is about nine years old?)

Get thee to a nunnery?
It's just so wrong. And so typical of this town.
Do they have purity balls there? Where daughters make pledges to their (earthly) fathers to remain a virgin until marriage (therefore being loyal to their Heavenly father)?
No, you aren't making this up. It's definitely out there, purity balls and all, infecting the young. So glad to know the Kid is out there offering a good example. She's awesome.
