things worked out that way. Maybe you're right in this being a hopeful sign. I live in the Bible Belt, too, but can't offer any comparisons because EVERY F-ING ONE of my grandchildren and ALL of our friends children and grandchildren go to church schools. The children, however, have been taught not to bully Grandma. So there's that at least.

But good story. Thanks for sharing.
