That is scary. Where did she think wine, loves and fishes came from?
Now that I think about, it was actually my third grade teacher. I’m sure she passed away long ago. She never mentioned where wine came from but I’m sure if you asked her she would say Satan.
I bet you’re right.
I went to a private Christian school and ideas like that were floated around. I don’t remember specifically that one, but I was taught about the finding of Noah’s Ark more than once.
You all familiar with the ongoing rumors that the wreck of the Ark is on Mount Ararat in Turkey? We watched entire 40+ minute documentaries on teams that went and looked for it. Lots of stories from people who found it but took no pictures(of course).
They had us full-blown convinced that boat was there. I think back in the early 90’s, I would have told you that by 2020, we’d have found the Ark and would have tons of footage of it.
Maybe I misremembered this. Logically, the girls should have two more ribs than the boys. Or maybe the teacher wasn’t good at math. In any event, it gave us an excuse to try to count the girls’ ribs at recess. Sometimes it was hard to get them to hold still.
Learned that from our fourth-grade reader. ![]()
My young 4th grade teacher was still in sorority dreamland, and made us all learn the Greek alphabet. I can still read Greek out loud, but don’t understand ir.
And if you get confused over the spelling rule “i before e” :
There’s a pie in the word piece. A piece of pie, ready to eat.
