Also over-anxious, over-moralizing, over-supplied...I cannot agree with the type of 'theology' that teaches children that God won't love them if they are bad. I also disagree with the casual assumption of "class" , when the nurse told Leila that it wasn't a servant's place to learn about something new. But it's not all bad! We learned a lot about ants and ant lions, so I finally know who's making those little holes in my yard. 🐜 (Quick tip: Gloucester is pronounced "glos-ter")
