I was teaching Tate's Primary Class (Sunday School for those under 12) a couple of weeks ago. The concept we were talking about was Fast Offerings: an offering made in lieu of $$ spent on food.
Tate wasn't really focused as this verbatim account will show:
Me: What do we call money we give to help the Church?
Tate: Tithing! (Correct and fully acceptable at this point)
Me: Correct. What's a slighly lesser amount we contribute?
Tate: Taxes!
Me: Uh, no. Taxes are more than Tithing, I promise.
Tate: Bailout!
At this point it was all I could do to stop laughing. I explained that Bailout comes from the Government.
Ultimtately, we refocused and he went on to contribute to the discussion.
Tate: Fast Offerings, Fast Sunday. Then why does it go so slow???
What is an OmaHeck...
It is likely you have never heard of an OmaHeck. We kind of made it up. Here's a little history:
When I moved to Utah in 1990, I was introduced to a brand new phrase: "Oh my heck!" I guess it means "wow", "no way", or "that's surprising." It serves as a multi-purpose expression and possibly a swear :-0 (as in "Oh my heck, you are a jerk!)
When the family left Utah and settled in Omaha, NE (2004), we became "OmaHecks."
