Life lessons in Glee

The second and fourth Tuesday's of the month are always more on the difficult side for me. This year the PVA has changed it's afterschool days to Tuesday and Thursday instead of Wednesday and Thursday. This would usually put us a little behind the eight ball for Girl Scouts which happens the second and fourth Tuesday.

Most of the time I will pick her up at the library at 5:45 run home for a bite of dinner and then we run to Girl Scouts at 6:30. It is usually very tight, and sometimes homework gets put off until the morning so we can watch Glee. This was not the case tonight.

Due to being in the ACE program this week she was out of school at noon. Neither the other leader nor myself had had time to get a meeting together so we cut our meeting down from an hour and a half to just an hour. She had done all of her homework at the ACE program and has completed almost all of the work that was sent from school so there is nothing that we need to do in the morning.

This week’s Glee had some very candid talk about being homosexual. MAC had some questions about the differences in being homosexual and bi-sexual. She has made a friend who has come out as being bi-sexual. When I spoke with MAC about what it means to be bi-sexual she could give me a definition but couldn't understand why it would be a problem. Tonight gave me a life lesson. Having to try to explain why some people don't like homosexuals (or bi-sexual) was difficult.

I am glad that she sees no problem with having a bisexual friend. I hope that this understanding continues forever!
