And another thing about church today....
... our minister told the story in his sermon today about the little boy traveling in a car with his parents. They come upon a line of traffic at a low overpass across the highway. A heavy truck has wedged itself into the overpass and is now stuck so fast that not even the best efforts of tow trucks and cops can get it unstuck. Finally, after trying over and over, the little boy convinces one of the men to listen to him. "Let the air out of the tires" he says. They try it, it works.
Why that struck me is because I heard a version of that exact same story back in the fourth grade from Ms Laycock* at the Hamilton Elementary school in Northern Virginia. I think that much of my moral sense must come from the stories that lady read us.
* Actually, it was Mrs, but like good little Virginians we pronounced it Miz.
