Training Trouble

While listening to the song "Train Up a Child," my daughter Emily asked me what "train up" means. I explained that it means to teach children about God and the difference between right and wrong. "Are you and Daddy training me up?" she asked.

"We’re trying to," I said.

Emily turned back to the stereo and muttered, "We’ll see about that."
