It's night three of my vacation from motherhood.
My son pulled a fit Wednesday night and said he was going to live with his father.....I packed him a bag, called his stepmother and she picked him up Thursday. You don't realize how much you missed the quiet, or how much you have missed being able to sleep in.
My son is gone till Monday night, since there is no school because of the holiday. (For those Yanks reading this, Monday is the queens birthday, kind of like a Presidents day.)
Speaking of school, there was a big hoopla the other day about an eight year old wanting to wear his ceremonial dagger in school. Apparently he went to court over it, saying it was his right because it was part of his religion. He won.
Hmmmmm, kids can't say the lords prayer in school, but this kid can have a knife. Who makes these rules? What the hell are they thinking? I don't see the logic. When they say no religion in school, that means no religion, right? Well seems to me that what they really mean is nothing Catholic in school. (or is the lords prayer just catholic?) I don't know.
Politicians. They seem to make the weirdest decisions. Something as harmless as saying "Our Father", is a huge no no, but carrying something that could take out an eye? No problem. If the rest of the kids can go 6 hours without praying aloud, can't this kid go without the dagger? After all....its ceremonial, and he can't actually do the ceremony in the school.........that would mean he would have to pray. And we all know he could get arrested for that!
