Honor your....?

Today one of my second graders came to me after recess to explain a problem he was having with a friend. He explained that they were having a disagreement and he tried to tell his friend, "Listen, the Bible says you have to honor those who are bigger than you..." I stopped him right there and told him that the Bible actually says honor your father and your mother (the 5th commandment, which we just finished learning about in chapel) and we should also obey those who are older than us (and that doesn't mean our friend who is a few days or months younger has to do what we say) or those who are in charge...but NOT necessarily those who are bigger than us!

I love being in the kid business! :)
