The single pastor.

This afternoon, one of the junior high students in our school made this comment to me:

"I can't believe you're not married," she said.

"Um, OK...why's that?" I replied.

"Because you're such a cool guy."

Kinda made me laugh when I got back into my office, thinking about what an early adolescent (or younger) kid thinks about who gets married, why people marry, how easy it must be the find the right person to marry. Gave me a chuckle and a smile.

Gotta love junior-highers.

Get a load of this:

Holtsville, N.Y. (AP) -- Some Long Island eighth graders apparently got an early start on April Fool's Day pranks on Friday, when they handed out doughnuts laced with laxatives to classmates, school officials said.

There were no apparent injuries, although ambulances were dispatched to the Sequoya Middle School as a precaution, a spokeswoman for the Sachem School District said.

"Approximately 18 students ate the doughnuts," the district said in a statement. "Although the students are feeling well, the school is taking precautionary measures."

Police were investigating and parents were been informed about the situation. Classes proceeded as usual, but parents were given the option to pick up their children.

The district said it would take "appropriate disciplinary action."
