Because sometimes a cash register “ding” is the only thing people will listen to.
Recently I was having a pleasant conversation among a group of moms about how it was so cool that we could still get along even though we were all from different faiths, if any. We agreed that it would be fun to share these faiths with our group of homeschoolers and help educate our children about various cultures and lifestyles.
Then one mom turned the conversation toward the Chik-Fil-A boycott, and everyone but me chimed in about how stupid it was to stage a kiss-in, or even a boycott. “That’s what children do,” one mom remarked, and I couldn’t get out of the discussion fast enough because I knew I was going to say something I’d regret.
