A teenage boy had just passed his driving test and inquired of his father as to when they could discuss his use of the family car.
His father said that he would make a deal with his son, “You bring your grades up from a “C” to a “B” average, study your Bible a little, and get your haircut…then we will talk about the car.”
the boy thought about that for a moment, decided that he would settle for the offer, and they agreed on it. After about six months his father said, “Son, you have brought your grades up and I have observed that you have been studying your Bible, but I am disappointed that you haven’t had your hair cut.”
The boy sais, “You know, Dad, I have been thinking about that, and I have noticed in my studies of the Bible that Samson had long hair, John the Baptist had long hair, Moses had long hair, and there is even strong evidence that Jesus had long hair.”
(You’re going to love the dad’s reply!)
“Did you also notice they all walked everywhere they went?”
Ahhh…..the art of parenting!!
That’s a great story.
