* Get your feet off the celery.When I wrote this, we were living two doors down from a Holiness brand of Pentecostal church, and a certain child in my household, who was much, much younger then, used to stand on the front stoop, sometimes naked, shooting at the people going to the church, using as a weapon whatever happened to be in his hand. He is much, much older and more dignified now and would never ever ever dream of doing such a thing.
* Don't lick me.
* The corkscrew is not a toy.
* Don't shoot at the Pentecostals.
* Don't shoot at the neighbors.
* Don't shoot at your sister.
* The Allen wrench is not a toy.
* Don't shoot at your sister with the Allen wrench.
* The counter is not for dancing on.
* Should you have shoes on your ears?
* Don't shoot at your sister with the crucifix.
And, from my friend VA, who swears she actually said this:
Don't put Jesus in the VCR.
Anyway, just so you know we didn't ever go out looking for Pentecostals to terrorize. Alas for them, they came to us.

We just laughed out loud here over this one, Sally. Thanks. :)
You mean he gets dressed to shoot the Pentecostals now?

Well, he *is* much older and more dignified.
Actually, I think he'd more or less outgrown shooting them before we moved. It is my great hope that they didn't notice anything one way or another.
