Everyday there is a TJ moment and everyday I am thankful. Today he walked into my room (always 5 minutes before everyone else as his class is after lunch) and did his usual "walk across the desks" routine but this time, he had his nose in a book: "Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul". He says, "No time to feed my stomach, only time to feed my soul!" He sat reading silently until somehow religion came up. He told me he didn't want to be Jewish anymore because it was ruining his life. When I asked him why this was so, he said there were too many restrictions. I asked him what he meant by that and he replied, "Well, for starters, you can't eat pork! AND you can't hit people"
Oh man TJ, you kill me :-)
