Train up a child...

Proverbs 22:6 tells us, "Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it." I was trying to find some shirts for Joel in Zellers today. I was looking through the rack of shirts for 8 year old boys and found one that featured a boy bending over and lighting his gas on fire. The top of the shirt bore the title, "Atomic Rectum Tricks". Now Zellers wouldn't carry items like this if they didn't sell, and I couldn't help thinking about the people who are buying this type of clothing for their 8 year old boys and then wonder at age 16 why the child is so mixed up.

As a side matter, the cashier at Zellers asked me 5 times about their rewards program. Would you like to put this on your Zellers card? No, I'll use debit. Do you have a Zellers reward card? No. Would you like to put this on your Zellers card? Absolutely not. Do you have a Zellers reward card? No. Would you like to apply for a Zellers card and save 10% off today's purchase? No.
