I thought a good idea today, to carry out in practice from here on in, is to make all responses to my mother/father's questioning be: "Bible study." Anything, pretty much, can be answered with "Bible Study!".

"Where are you going?" "Oh, I'm just going to bible study." "What are you going to be doing?" "Studying God's Word." "When will you be back?" "After I study the bible."

"What do you want on your pizza?"

Bible study. Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
