A student in my Religious Studies 2: Jesus and Justice class regularly gives me a little package around major secular and Christian holidays. It happened on Halloween. It happened at Christmas. And, it happened again right before Easter. Said student comes up to me, rather sheepishly, half-embarrassed, and in hushed tones says:
"Hey Mr T, here's a little something for you. But, it's not really from me. It's from my mom. She likes to do these things. So, here it is."
He looks around to ensure that no one is watching, and from within clenched fists, reveals the gift ...
How cute. It's the gesture that counts ...
