catholic.pages is a good website that I have not visited in a while. Thanks to a reader for pointing me there today. in the "smile" section, I found this story:
School Sex Ed which makes a serious point about abstinence in an amusing way.
Parents among you will especially enjoy this light hearted treatment of rules for toddlers:
Old Testament Parenting by Ian Frazier. Here is a sample from the Laws Pertaining to Dessert:
But of the unclean plate, the laws are these: If you have eaten most of your meat, and two bites of your peas with each bite consisting of not less than three peas each, or in total six peas, eaten where I can see, and you have also eaten enough of your potatoes to fill two forks, both forkfuls eaten where I can see, then you shall have dessert.
But if you eat a lesser number of peas, and yet you eat the potatoes, still you shall not have dessert; and if you eat the peas, yet leave the potatoes uneaten, you shall not have dessert, no, not even a small portion thereof.

I'd like to know if this is an actual account or not. Either way, it should be read at any meeting on sex ed for kids where abstinence is underrepresented.
What a great and brave mother!
I love "Laws Pertaining to Dessert" !
When I was a boy at prep school, we were merely told, "Eat your greens". The reason given, as I recall, was that they were nutritious, but as the school cooks had obviously never heard the expression "al dente", they vigorously boiled all the vitamins or whatever out of all green vegetables. Cabbage seemed to be their favourite victim. In contrast, boiled potatoes always seemed underdone.
We ate it anyway.
I wonder if school food is still like this.
