               -Merriam-Webster Dictionary

: my college kid

 

I have an "agnostic" in my house. 

At least during his Sophomore year.  His Freshman year he was the "philosopher", now he's the "agnostic".  What will he be his Junior or Senior year? 

 

I know, I know, "he's finding himself", that's what college is all about.  He's finding himself ???  He hasn't lived long enough to be lost!  An "agnostic"?  Jeez....what the heck?

 

Do all parents go through this?  He wasn't raised an "agnostic".  He had a belief in God, where did it go?  Now he's all "Mr. Science" and has to have everything proved to him.  It'll be really easy for him to prove that's my foot in his backside.

 

Ok - deep breath - relax.  He didn't come home with an earring, tattoos, or wearing a bra.

 

I know I put my parents through it when I was 20, so I guess if this is the worst thing he comes home with, I'll be ok.

 

Deep breath - an "agnostic" - Jeez......if my mom finds out she'll have her foot in my backside.
