Oh, that Babylon Bee, so satirical…
Local Mother Successfully Pawns Her Kids Off To Different VBS Every Week Of Summer
…Dammit, Mom.

PS: Yes, Mom, you didn’t actually do this. Quite. But there was at least one summer where I went to three of the things. And, yes, it was entertaining even at the time to watch them squirm at the way that the Catholic kept winning the Bible study prizes. But still.
PPS: Yes, my mom reads my site occasionally. Now don’t all of you feel self-conscious?
Eh, she’s the one who wiped your tuchus.
I could behave deplorably, and still be confident she’s seen worse. 😀
The older I get, even as a child-less adult, the more I realize that Kids programming of any sort is not for the kids. It’s for the parents and any benefit the kids get out of it is secondary.
Hey! I was that same Catholic who went to Protestant vacation bible school. Amusingly enough, it was a Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran church – they’re one of the branches of Lutheranism that hasn’t decided to make nice with the Catholic church. It was fun.
But it was mainly to get out of doing farm chores, in my case. Added advantge: the church was literally right next to the family farm, so I’d see my dad out in the field working, glowering at us while I colored in Joseph and Mary with crayola.
He couldn’t even get mad, really, because when he was a kid, he’d gone one step further: he went to Synagogue, just to get out of work on Saturdays as well.
