Well, that's close!
I have to confess most of my daughter's religious education has come from preschool. Imagine my shock to find out both of my children know how to pray and I had never taught them!!! My daughter will start Sunday School in a few weeks (just realized she should have been in it for at least the last year, somehow I missed that memo) and I feel the need to start educating her so that she won't seem completely ignorant!

Hey my best friend's kid started Catholic school, and halfway through kindergarden it was revealed that she thought all this "God" talk was about Hercules. My friend moved her to public school a year later and she swears that wasn't the reason but still.......HERCULES???

That's funny, Kris.

In high school, I had a friend who's dad is a minister. My friend had two younger sisters -- early elementary age. For Easter, they drew a picture of the Easter Bunny on a cross.

Last Easter I saw the most hilarious "Man on the Street" segment on the Jay Leno Show. He was asking people about Easter and what it means--- one college coed explained the biblical story pretty well, then Jay says, well, where does the Easter Bunny come in, and she says, I think that he was there when Jesus died on the cross. And her friend said, Yeah-- didn't a rabbit hop away or something? I never know if those interviews are staged but I sincerely hope so!
