I was teaching Sunday school and their Dir. of Education sat in to 'evaluate' my teaching. The topic was Noah's Arc. The kids had been hyper lately so I told the start of the Noah story about God's promise to save Noah. I then held up a box of doughnuts and said if they behaved my promise to them was they could have all the doughnuts they wanted when I was done. I told the story, the kids were perfect, and they went on a doughnut high at the end. I got a call to come to a meeting to discuss my disrespect for the story from the bible due to my "promise" to the kids -- equating the story promise to my promise of food. I said I didn't join the church to be told I had to be PC about a bible story and they said I had to reflect on my attitude to keep teaching. I said does this mean I can't teach unless I admit I did something wrong and they said yes. That was it. Never went back. So, see, it can happen! All over a :donut:

I did get a call a couple of months later asking why I had ceased my rather generous pledge on a monthly basis. haha...should also note that holy water burns my skin.
