Conversation with my daughter.

[rivka]

Why you should exercise caution before reading your child a retelling of the Odyssey:

Alex: Mom, what will happen if, one day, I'm one of the most famous women in the world?
Me: We'll be really, really proud of you.
Alex (dubiously): From the afterlife? Because most spirits don't remember anything about their former lives unless they drink animal blood.

I don't even. I hope she doesn't bring this out at RE, or someone's gonna call CPS on us.

I guess it would depend on the RE teacher. If it was her DLRE, for example, the response might include a snort-laugh and reading the post out loud to other members of the household instead of calling CPS. Maybe.
