[Scene]: I’m coloring with my kindergarteners when the conversation takes an obscure turn.
Kid: Teacher, what’s the bad guy’s name?
Me: Bad guy?
Kid: Yeah, Jesus’s bad guy.
Me: Um, Satan?
Kid: Yeah! Satan! Halloween is Satan’s day, right, teacher?
Me: [trying to figure out how to explain Halloween] Um…
Kid: Mommy and Daddy say it’s very bad.
Me: [trying to divert the conversation in a different direction] Are you excited about music class later?
Kid: What song are we singing?
Me: “Puff the Magic Dragon.”
Kid: How does that go?
I hum “Puff the Magic Dragon”
Kid: Oh! Oh! I know! That’s a Jesus song!
Me: I don’t think so…
Kid: Yes! It is! It’s on my Jesus CD!
Me: Okay then…
What can I say? School is rarely boring. =)
