I'm happy that you enjoyed it. The thing is, I have absolutely no idea what it is your are linking to. And I wrote it.

The fact is, the underlying story is <I>itself</I> icky. The thing about the NIrV is that, since it uses simple language, it can't hide the Ick behind mellifluous Orwellian circumlocutions. The whole point of the translation is that it's intended to be understood by third-graders, so it explains the Ick in terms that a third-grader can understand.<BR/><BR/>I'd recommend finding a copy in a bookstore somewhere, and reading the story of Sodom & Gomorrah and/or Leviticus 15 for yourself to see if your kid is capable of handling it.<BR/><BR/>And even if he isn't, that doesn't mean the translation is wrong for you--it may just mean that you hold off reading about Lot's daughters until he's a little older, that's all.Timothy Powerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06081922327870257027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4048186698864359724.post-49328050128420628602008-07-28T06:20:00.000-07:002008-07-28T06:20:00.000-07:00OH BOY!

He has/ HAD no idea what circ' was - THE LOOK on his face when we explained it...poor kid - he was so relived when we explained it's done as a baby - but we hadn't done it to him anyway because we are free of the law.<BR/><BR/>And THANKS for the head nup about the NIrV - I was going to pick one up for my 7 year old.. but DANG.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00611670750293665117noreply@blogger.com
