The Aliens are Coming!
Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008I wonder if there are any other science teachers out there, who are teaching units on space, and who now have to come up with PC answers to questions about aliens, God and the end of the world.
Samples of things I heard today:
“MISS! My aunt told me she saw aliens last night, and that they caused those twin towers falling, and that seeing them last night means something crazy is going to happen this week! Did you see them too? My aunt took pictures for you to look at!!!!!”
“Did God cause the Big Bang??? Do you believe in God????”
” I heard the earth is ending in 2012, is that true?”
“MISS, do you believe in aliens and heaven????”
I just sort of turn the questions back to my kids: “Well, what do YOU believe? That’s interesting…”
Awkward.
