extra real post

Our Ju Jutsu* teacher has scary ideas about girls my age, even if they are homeschooled. A classmate asked me if I had contacts, since my eyes are so bad and I have to remove my glasses so often during class, and teacher said, "No, we have to keep her away from the contacts, because once she starts wearing contacts she'll be hanging around with boys, and she'll never be home, and her mom will lose her baby…" They laughed at me when I was skeptical. Really, though, how many boys of the right age do I know in this state? I know if he's not Lutheran I will be tied to a chair until I come to my senses, and that leaves… Ick-ick, and that obviously won't happen. Too many awkward situations to go through.

* Spelling is inconsistent.


(NOTE: Ick-ick is good for a friend.)

  1. I have a feeling that Nick's name is destined to become an ever-increasing string of "Ick"s.

  2. I believe that "Ick-Ick" is someone other than "Nick."

    What is the "right age," precisely or approximately? Surely there are more than one Lutheran fish in the St. Joseph River. . . .

  6. Anna!

    Be nice!

    I guess I could consider peeples from our old churches, but that's borderline.

  7. But I'm straying from my point - I don't *know* boys.

    Right age? I'm still holding on to the childhood notion that the guy has to be older (and taller) than the gal, and then I guess just not "too old," whatever that is.

  8. At least I won't be tied to a chair... :p


    A lot can happen in a few years....and remember, Michigan isn't too far away. Even though there's a scarcity of Confessional Luther people up there, there's a few. And if neighboring states fail, you never know when HT conferences might throw a few people together. Not that that is an acceptable reason by itself for going to conferences... :p

  9. Well yes, but it would be hard to hang out with them much. It's not like I can just drive over a few hours, or spend *that* much time on the computer.

    Also, I won't need to be tied up, but I'm just saying.

  10. *re-reads this post* So you don't know enough boys that are in the right state (of mind?) We'll just have to fix that!

  11. Oh, quiet, you rumor-starter. I'm sorry I ever posted this. I don't know why I did.
