Rocker with a Conscience
Posted By AmyD. on May 21, 2006
Sunday, traditionally a day of rest. Ethan can be found out in the garage wailing on his guitar blowing off steam. It’s a type of spiritual cleansing for him, part of his preparations for the new week.
And, before he begins to sound completely enlightened and people start rushing to study the “Tao of Ethan” I wanted to share a few tid-bits of Ethan wisdom with you.
Ethan: Hey Dad!
Mike: Yes?
Ethan: Dude, I just realized that I’m playing “Highway to Hell” on Sunday!
——————–
One of Ethan classmates, we’ll call him “Magician,” leans toward religious fanatacism. He carries a bible around with him and his parents have taught him that homosexuals have “germs” that, should you acquire them, however innocently, will send you to hell. Freaky to say the least.
Magician: Ethan, I bet I can run the mile faster than you.
Ethan: Whatever.
M: Seriously, what do you want to bet?
E: Nothing. Not interested, ok?
Later, when telling me about the encounter:
Ethan: I told him to forget it. I know I can beat him and there’s no reason to make him feel bad.
Me: Good for you.
Ethan: Not to mention there’s the whole “God” thing.
Me: What do you mean?
Ethan: Well, he’s really religious, ya know. But, he can’t run a mile in under 9 minutes and my mile is a lot faster than that.
Me: Ok, what does that have to do with God?
Ethan: Well, he just seemed REALLY confident and I thought, what if God pulls it out for him this time?
