Member Since: July 2008 Posts: 157 Send Message	ok my 8yr old son came home with his homework the other day it was a brain teaser. this is it can you solve it because i have no idea!! A certain preist does not allow the throwing of confetti in or around his church, neither does he allow the throwing of rice. he made this rule after he was tired of cleaning up all the mess after a wedding, he has however made one concession people are allowed to throw a similar substance outside the church which never needs clearing up. what is it? we have untill tomo to find the answer!! tasha xx

	Oh Cougar, I really like Blessings. I would have said bread crumbs or rice paper, but then the pigeon cr*p would be awful. Definitely like blessings. Although I think telling your son is kinda cheating and not the point of the exercise (yup I really am that kind of kill joy. When helping my nephew and nieces with homework I will help them move towards the answer but won't tell them it). ie. "What do you get when you go to church" mmmhmm I'm a meanie ETA I did PMSL at water... can just imagine the brides face. I bet at least one child will say that.
