My
friend Brittany and I had a funny little Twitter exchange this week. First she said something about “another
14 hour work day” (she’s an English teacher and they’re in the midst of their
first round of parent-teacher conferences). I replied “you get summers off – kwitcherbitchin – sez the
guy who works one hour per week.”
And just like that we were off to the races. She told me I could do her conferences for her if I liked,
and I told her if I did they’d be a lot shorter and to the point: “Your kid rocks/Your
kid sucks.” She said she didn’t
know many pastors who’d be satisfied saying things in one sentence when an
entire paragraph would do.
