John Y’s Musings from the Middle: My Kind of Rebel

My kind of rebel.

A friend was making his 8 hear old daughter attend the adult worship service which is an hour long and hard for a youngster to sit through without lots of restless squirming.

To cope the plucky little girl would stand and draw on the program. My friend got her to stop drawing where people could see what she was doing but couldn’t get her to sit without being firm.

Finally, he sternly , teeth gritted, said emphatically “Sit down now, young lady!”

And she did.

But two minutes later whispered to her dad defiantly, “I am still standing up in my mind.”

I love that.
