You Shall Have No Other Striped Shirt Before Me

Last week, at the end of confirmation class, we played a little quiz game. We had just spent the hour talking about the ten commandments. Two students went head-to-head.
Question: "What is the first commandment."
Silence.
They didn't know.

This week, one of the contestants of that little failure of my teaching career, pointed out that I was wearing a different striped shirt this week. I wear a lot of striped shirts. Apparently I wore the same shirt the first two weeks. I didn't know it. They didn't know the first commandment. I guess we both need to pay better attention.
