Is prayer more like homework, or a bulletin board?*
Am I more annoyed than a shoe, or a hammer?
Seventh grade is still a little young to be wrestling with abstract philosophy alone at the kitchen table.
*for the record she had a series of these -- I told her to think about words that come to mind for each one (homework: practice, brings knowledge & understanding, bulletin board: a way to spread news or remember things). She had to come up with one on her own so we chose refridgerator (safe, calming) vs stove (warm, comforting). Well, I chose it. But I explained my approach to her, which is more than the teacher did. Hmmmph.

I would go with a warm, soft blanket... cozy and protective.. yet soothing when upset and troubled.
Wow. That is a deep serious of psychoanalysis. Was this her FBI psych exam?
Homework: useful, but mandated/forced
Bulletinboard: posted willingly, but amongst others in hopes of a response.
I'm guessing soon she'll do the hammer,knife,tape measure,duct tape personality test. It's like MyersBriggs for kids.
Thanks. My brain just exploded over the prayer analogy.
And she's in 7th grade????
