Overheard On The Yellow Line

A mom instructing her son to read a story about Judah from a leather-bound Bible. The Bible is in Latin and he's translating slowly. She's dowdy, with a big hat and pants and green clogs with purple socks. He's in a navy blue suit. He struggles with a word and she threatens to call over dad, who's been standing a few feet away looking half-asleep. "You've just been on the Internet," the mom says. "Life isn't just about being entertained. Now it's time to buckle down and do some Latin. This is good for you."
