Don't Be Stupid

My brother and sister in law went yesterday to the Youth Rally for our church diocese. They came back with a bracelet that says, "Don't Be Stupid!" and great jokes and stories from a cutting edge priest in New Orleans.

His name is Rev. R. Tony Ricard. Father Tony has great lines and ways to tell the word of Christ to teens. He is all over YouTube. He's really great and is definitely worth checking out. One of Father Tony's sayings is "Don't Be Stupid". Father Tony says:

"Ignorance is when you don't know something. Stupidity is when you know it's wrong but you still do it! Don't Be Stupid!"

I love it! Fr. Tony and "his momma" definitely hits the nail on the when he says "Remember who you belong to, and Don't Be Stupid!" This is going to be my new mantra. Especially at school, with my class, stupidity blossoms using this scenario. My students are VERY intelligent, but sometimes, their utter stupidity annoys me. I can't help them, if they don't want to help themselves.

"Don't Be Stupid!" says Fr. Tony and Ms. Guidry says, "Listen to your priest!"
