I replied,"well, I'm gay, so I don't think I'd actually be welcome there, would I?" I guess I had hoped for little debate, but that pretty much shut down the conversation. Good for you for finding a way to engage more fully.Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10556860299477514075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790159758366801958.post-77323104668822288522009-05-20T21:37:53.208-04:002009-05-20T21:37:53.208-04:00Oh, Rox, when I saw those boys my first thought wa...Oh, Rox, when I saw those boys my first thought was "No way." I had already decided to close the door when the first boy wouldn't give up and kept trying different questions to keep me engaged. It wasn't until I was explaining <I>why</I> I wasn't going to answer that it occurred to me I could ask questions too. (And the one asking questions has control of the conversation.)<br /><br />Until this Birdiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12852713057094279347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790159758366801958.post-5768247474964540902009-05-20T16:12:41.991-04:002009-05-20T16:12:41.991-04:00I feel like a tadpole when you write stuff like th...I feel like a tadpole when you write stuff like this. I'm the tadpole and you're the homo sapien walking upright. That's how much more evolved you are than I am. I would have slammed the door in their faces.<br /><br />Sigh.

There are times when I have the time and strength to engage in discussions with these lovely Mormon boys and the Jehovah's Witnesses who come knocking at my door.
