I have proof that I have raised a well adjusted, independent thinking, intelligent child.
I saw a book on the kitchen counter last night titled "Harry Potter and the Bible" - it talked about the unhealthy fascination with magick [occultism] and how Harry Potter was against the Bible. Of course I wondered where it came from and Marty asked Bailey and she said a kid in her class wanted her to read it - she is a Harry Potter FANATIC. So I thought, OK, I will let her read it and make up her own mind and not say anymore about it. So this morning I asked her if she was reading it and she said, "No. I'm taking it back to him. I thought it was stupid on the first page." Thank God.
This evening she was saying that he had originally brought it to another girl in her class - the one whose mom won't let her child be at my house if we're going to be watching that Evil Harry Potter Business and the one who was told at my child's birthday party she had to come home if they started playing any Harry Potter stuff. The woman saw the words "Harry Potter" on the cover and wouldn't let her daughter read it - even though it's exactly what she's been preaching all along, she didn't even take time to see the "& the Bible"part of the title. DUH. Anyway - Bailey has been going to church with this family for the last couple of months and I was OK with it as long as they weren't preaching that stuff at the church, she said they weren't. So she tells me this woman said that if you go to church you can't believe in magic. I said, "Bailey, you can believe anything you want to, don't let anyone tell you what you can or can't believe in." And she said - wait for it - "I know, I don't listen to idiots." Thank God. My child is brilliant.
