Dear Lily,
My youngest son is causing me a lot of concern. At just 15 years old, I suspect he and his friends might be drinking alcohol and using wacky cigarettes. He used to be such a charming boy, enthusiastic about sports and a well-liked, active member of our church community. Nowadays, he just lounges around in baggy clothes, perpetually wearing a scowl. He has stopped attending church with my husband and me and has even started to deny the existence of God. I’ve tried everything from singing hymns to him to leaving post-it notes with scripture around the house, but I’m afraid Satan might already have a hold on him. What would you recommend?
Lily says – It sounds like I might understand what your son is going through. It seems he’s gone pubic. A couple of years ago, my big sister went pubic too, and ever since then, she has developed a completely different, rather scary personality. These days, I often find myself trying to stay away from her because she has a tendency to take out her new aggressive behavior on me. She no longer has any interest in playing teddy bears’ picnic since she claims it’s gay—whatever that means—and she won’t let me into her room to play anymore. Once, while searching through her top drawer for hidden sweets, I stumbled upon a box of peculiar lollipops that burst in your mouth. They weren’t very pleasant, but they work great as flotation devices for Barbie when she swims. When I asked my mum if my sister would ever be nice again, she replied probably not. So, regrettably, I think you may need to come to terms with the reality that your son is either pubic or potentially possessed by the devil, and just move forward with your lives.
I hope that provides some clarity!
