Dan and Tithing Settlement

Yesterday our family had tithing settlement. Before we met with the Bishop we helped Dan figure out how much he would give to the church. Dan would give 68 cents. In our meeting the Bishop asked each of the children how they felt about the money they had given. Each of the four oldest children expressed their gratitude for the blessings that has come into their lives because of tithing. We thought we were in the clear with just little Dan to go. Hopefully we would make it out of tithing settlement without our children saying something weird or our children's favorite.... not answering questions posed to them by the Bishop but instead staring off into space as if he didn't exist. Maybe this would be "the year" that we would be somewhat normal. However, when Dan was asked how he felt about the opportunity to give to the church, he said, "Well, I was going to go to college in China with that money but I guess I won't now."
