Middle School Minotaur

You just gotta love Jr. High students. They have the perfect balance of knowledge and personal restraint that create some great moments. One such moment happened today at Epic JV, our middle school service:

Teacher: Who knows what a mentor is?

Middle Schooler: Isn't that something from Greek mythology?

Teacher: No...that's a minotaur, a creature with a human body and the head of a bull. Although a minotaur mentor would be pretty sweet.

I talked to the Jr. High student later. He'd been reading the Percy Jackson books. It was a window into the middle school mind.
