Last night we went to dinner at the church before service or, in my case, youth group. Two girls that Mary know from GAs were sitting with us . Let's call them Sarah and Morgan. As we were sitting there eating, Sarah looked over her shoulder and saw Morgan's parents eating together at a table like anyone would do. She seemed mystified by this. Sarah looked at Morgan and asked, " Why are parents sitting together?" Morgan looked at her strangely. "Because they are married," she replied. "Oh," Sarah said, "they are?" Morgan looked at me and back at Sarah. "Yeah, cause it would be bad if they weren't."
I couldn't figure out why on earth Sarah hadn't realized that Morgan's parents might be married, until she said, "Well, my parents almost got a divorce." I suddenly realized that Sarah might not be used to her parents sitting together and speaking nicely to each other. I felt really sad for her.
