that's one way to put it...

Simon learned about the story of Purim in Sunday School this week. In the story, Haman plots to kill the Jews. When his evil scheme is discovered, he is hanged on the same gallows that he had prepared. (Or at least that's how I heard it).

I was curious to know how the teacher dealt with this story with her class of impressionable kindergartners. Simon recounted the story to me. He noted that at the end of the story, Queen Esther and King Ahashuarus lived happily ever after. I asked what happened to Haman.

"Well," he said, "he pretty much went out of business."

[still not sure what exactly the teacher said...but this was his interpretation.]
