Teaching 6th grade Sunday school this morning, I was explaining the force of Romans 6:1-2 and the optative that occurs there. I probably went a little far for the 12 year olds, but I felt it necessary to make sure they knew the difference between "ou" and "me genoita."As I neared the end of my excursis, one of them asked me (with answer already in possession, I'm sure), "Oh no, are you obsessed like my teacher at school who speaks Greek, Hebrew, Latin, Arabic and English?" I had no idea how to answer that, and so I simply said, "yes, I am, Josh; I'm obsessed." I suppose there are worse things to be obsessed with in the world, but did this 6th grader have to go and succeed in proving to me that I am a nerd, and an obsessed one at that? Oh well, at least I can drive and go to PG-13 movies! Ha!
Well, someday when he is using your new lexicon, he can say, "This guy was my sixth-grade Sunday School teacher!"
