Mallory, I took an entire course on The Reformation and this is the first time I've read these. Please don't tell my history prof, I think she'll be very cross with me.

My ex had a version of the prodigal son returning and we hung it up everywhere we lived, and I'd NEVER heard the story, and he said it was relevant to his life. But that makes NO sense, unless HE was the prodigal son and was being a total shit... so was that a moment of self-reflection? Now I'm so confused! Why oh why didn't I have a religious upbringing so I could be like "What? That makes no sense! Your family doesn't even HAVE any money for you to squander." I think he just thought of himself as "prodigal" and he was a son. Now I'm angry.

Oh man (or Oh woman?), bookmarking. LOVE.
