Yummy jello

Can likes to get into the pantry to find things to eat. Yesterday while Mom was taking the bigs to the bus stop he came to me with two boxes of Jello and wanted to eat them. I don't think that he has ever had Jello before so I told him what it was and said that Mom could make it for him when she got home. A short time later I found him sitting on the couch dipping his finger into an opened box of Jello. He held up his finger and said, "yummy Jello." Fortunately he hadn't had time to pour it all over the couch.

Yesterday was "culture" day for spirit week at the boy's school. Since we are only plain old boring Americans, Dec decided to dress up based on his Mormon culture. He went dressed in a shirt and tie with a missionary name tag. Mom expected a call from the school saying that he was not allowed to dress as anything overtly religious, but I guess that they were feeling unusually tolerant today because he said that nobody made him take his name tag off.

I heard a story about homosexual, but not religious, tolerance on on the Dennis Prager show yesterday. An exerpt from the news report that he was discussing:

When a few classmates razzed Rebeka Rice about her Mormon upbringing with questions such as, "Do you have 10 moms?" she shot back: "That's so gay."
Those three words landed the high school freshman in the Principal's office and resulted in a lawsuit that raises this question: When do playground insults used every day all over America cross the line into hate speech that must be stamped out?

Lets bend over backwards to prevent "hate speech" against homosexuals, but never mind the religious insults. Of course the kids who teased her about being Mormon didn't end up in the Principal's office because Mormon's aren't a "protected" minority.
