Re: Stupid Helicopter Parent Tricks
Longest, shortest... same thing, right? It's certainly the most memorized by children! They all go home from Sunday School, having been told to pick a verse and memorize it for next week. Find that verse, job done.BRWombat wrote:Thought that was the shortest.
Two words, nine letters. Yep, it's really long.

Re: Stupid Helicopter Parent Tricks
It is. the longest verse is actually Esther 8:9 - "At once the royal secretaries were summoned—on the twenty-third day of the third month, the month of Sivan. They wrote out all Mordecai's orders to the Jews, and to the satraps, governors and nobles of the 127 provinces stretching from India to Cush. These orders were written in the script of each province and the language of each people and also to the Jews in their own script and language."BRWombat wrote:Thought that ["Jesus wept"] was the shortest.
72 words (in the NIV, in the KJV it's 90 words) in one verse! :)
Re: Stupid Helicopter Parent Tricks
You wanna hear a really dumb helicopter parent? My mom. I'm 51 years old, and she still tries to tell me how to cut my hair, or yells at me for coloring it, and for wearing my purse around my (admittedly rotund) waist. This is the same person, along with my dad, who for years listened to a bunch of quacks who stated that I would never be able to learn how to drive, live alone, and hold down a decent job. Guess what--except for a few driving lessons, and living on my own for five years, that's basically what's happened. Now she bitches at me that I can't get a decent job.Seeing's how she never let me get into computers and stuff when they came out, I wonder why. And if I try to tell her this, she freaks out and shouts me down. And my other family members are the same way. Despite my having an I.Q. in the gifted range, I'm being treated like a retard. And then when mom sees these court shows, she makes remarks about the people on the stand, and I think, yeah, mom, there but for the grace of God go I. Phhhtttt.
