Kathy,

Glad you let us know so we could pray with you about Chris.  Part of your
story reminded me of our daughter when she was about that age.  She became
very cooperative and helpful but it turned out to be a smoke screen to keep
us off balance.  Parents aren't as dumb as kids think, though, and it
doesn't take us long to catch on to what is happening.  The role playing
games are very indicative of their desire for identity.  So is the
vegetarian ploy.  Man, I can see myself in Chris and I was his age a long
time ago.

Phil.
