a cow’s tongue in chapel?
PinkGirl says, “Momma! Guess what? Dr. SchoolAdministrator brought Tommy The Tongue to chapel!”
“What?”
“It was a COW’S tongue.” (spoken in a voice that says, “ewwwww, gross.”)
pause. (I got nothing, so me and my furrowed brow just wait.)
Then FavoriteSon chimes in, “Last time it was a heart.”
“A real heart?” (I’m totally confused.)
“Yeah, he got it at the grocery store.”
“Dr. SchoolAdministrator got a heart at the grocery store.”
“mmmm hmm“
pause. (still working on this, give me some time people)
“WHY?” (would this not be everyone’s question at this point?)
FavoriteSon says, “I can’t remember PinkGirl, you tell her.”
Then PinkGirl says, “I don’t know.”
“Wait. There was an object lesson in chapel involving a COW’s tongue and neither of you know why?”
pause.
Then PinkGirl says, “I think it was about being careful of your words and not saying mean things.”
“Yeah. Yeah, something like that.”
“okay, then.” (that poor cow lost his tongue for nothing.)
(some things should never be removed from a cow. ewwwwwww, gross.)
