The Day I Run A Red Light..and God Was Told About It

True story.

Two days ago I picked up my two kids from school and I ran through a red light. My daughter quickly pointed out that "It was red daddy, why did you go because red means stop?" Frankly, I was floored and did not answer immediately.

Five eternity seconds later I simply said, "Daddy was disobedient Tami and he I am sorry for not being a good example." My first son joins the conversation at this point as says "Daddy, it is good that you said you are sorry for being disobedient, just like you teach us."

My woes don't end there though. Fast forward some six hours later after dinner and Tami has to pray for the night. The prayer includes this phrase "...and Jesus forgive Daddy for not stopping when the light was red..." That's how my wife got to know about it! Not that I was hidding it but anyway, that is how she got to know about it.

Be careful what you teach your children by example

I could hear my wife containing her laughter even before Tami said her "Amen". I don't blame her.
