"Teacher, you look like a man today."
"What, I looked like a woman before?"
"No, you didn't dress like a teacher today."
"Why?"
"You dress like someone working in the office."
me: "Who is in this picture?"
"God."
I might answer, "Jesus, the Second Person of the Trinity, God and Man."
The simple and perhaps theologically unsophisticated answer of children does not bother them at all. But it is a scandal to the Jews and the Muslims. And while the answer is true, I was struck by its import.
I have to admit, that I was moved when a mass of the girls came up to give a group hug before the end of school. (But a guy can't cry. haha.)
