Spare the Rod

The most memorable thing about church in Fulaga was the man with the switch. That’s right. Some of the local kids were sitting together and apparently they were being too loud, because one of the men went up and smacked them with a stick. It got our kids attention alright. Especially Seppe, who wanted to sit with his parents after that because if he sat with the other kids he might be too loud. Wow, back home I’m hearing that you can’t even let your kids walk to the park by themselves anymore, so definitely gone are the good ole days when you can smack your kids with a stick.

Well behaved in church
