With over 200 Christian denominations just in the United States, it is safe to say that there is some obvious division within the Christian community. However, there is one factor that unites all theologies: pastor's children.
Regardless of belief, gender, or age, every PK (pastor's kid) has had to robotically, and ever so politely, answer certain questions asked by church members, parents, and peers.
1. "Have you gotten taller?"
No, I have not grown since the last time you asked me...which was last Sunday.
2. "So, do you like, TOTALLY relate to the movie Footloose?"
Yes, watching high school kids race tractors is my true passion.
3. "Do you know how this makes our family look?"
Sorry, Mom.
4. "Why weren't you at church this morning?"
I
I had other pressing matters to attend to at nine in the morning on a Sunday. In other words, I was too tired.
5. Are you going to be a pastor when you grow up?
6. "What are you fundraising now?"
Hey, it's not my fault that church members love Yankee Candles, magazine subscriptions, and helping a student win the school's fundraising competition. I call it "using my resources."
7. "Are your parents like, really strict?"
8. "Can you open this door for us?"
We know where all the secret keys are hidden.
9. "Can you tell your parents that...."
We are the ultimate messengers.
10. "So, do you like being a pastor's kid?"
Despite the hardships all pastor's children will inevitable go through, being a PK is definitely the best.
