So tonight in CRE, one of the things we talked about was the Story of the Rich Young Man. The theme for the day was "Morality is not easy" and i felt the story was a good fit. We got to talking about the Ten Commandments and more specifically, "Thou shalt not bear false witness". I said that this pertains to even the littlest and seemingly smallest questions. I asked if anyone has asked them, "Do these pants make me look fat?"
I gave them two possible responses to this tough dilemma
1." You're beautiful no matter what"
2. "I am not an expert in the question you are asking."
Before you pick up your pitchforks to hunt me down, know that we talked about a lot of other things: being a Catholic is a challenge in today's society, "it is our choices that show who we truly are far more than our abilities", St. Peter being crucified upside down, my college application story, LOST, we acted out the Prisoner's Dilemma from The Dark Knight (unfortunately the citizens decided to blow up the criminals this time-but there was a twist: the bomb was on their boat), and "come to me who are weary and burdened...". so i wasn't corrupting too many of the guys' minds. yet.

way to quote dumbledore.
You could go with my favorite cop out: "That's above my pay-grade."
