Per last post, what the "incident" was all about - love using that word to describe the actions

of ... well, unpleasant people - people who...well, won't grow the heck up.  Uhm, 7 year-olds are 7 year-olds; they ask questions; even straight A smart kids haven't been around long enough to successfully navigate around (needless, pointless, and every flipping where) "adult???" drama.  Sorry, but not at all, momster had NO excuse to bust on her kid the way she did.  Btw, in the previous sentence, wanted to use another derivative, but that still small voice said "no."  

When you listen to a preacher's sermons, sooner or later, you're bound to learn things about his life - "his," because women aren't supposed to preach - us gals can have blogs (along some waay outback side of the internet).  Anyway, in his sermon about "natural affection" and, generally, the things of God, this particular preacher had grown  up in a single parent home; sometime, during the man's early boyhood, his folks had divorced; and it sounded like his mom had an angry streak about her.   He didn't go into description, because...well, like the details are really anyone else's business?? Anyway, sort of thing can mess up a kid, really bad.  Really bad.

This 50-something year-old man was preaching about how, basically, the "heathen rage" at the mere utterance of (oh. horrors) words like "prayer," "scripture," and especially, "Jesus Christ is LORD."  Oh they do.  i was once a kid, asking questions.
