No Joke
Wednesday, October 19, 2011 Did you hear the one about the Lutheran, the agnostic, the Jew, the Mormon, the Seventh-day Adventist, the woman and the atheist? No? Good, because it's not a joke.
Just a group of kids, two of them my sons, playing Apples to Apples, talking, laughing, even discussing politics. They don't agree on everything — their opinions likely influenced by conversations they hear in their own homes — yet they patiently listen to one another. They think about what the other guy just said, their average-sized egos not over inflated by flimsy experiences we believe that we win, and then they try to problem solve. For a bit. Then someone says, "Wanna go back outside and play Capture the Flag?" So they do.
