Magical Ethics: Week 9, Period 1

[justagalegirl.livejournal.com]

Alysha was absolutely exhausted as the class came in.  It had nothing - well, okay, it had everything to do with the weekend, but mainly because every single Auntie had called to to yell at her for being completely unavailable all weekend.  The number of Gale aunties and the amount they could lecture meant that it had been a very, very, very, very long Monday.

The random crack of thunder that apparently only Alysha could hear just emphasized the Aunties' pissiness.  Though it wasn't like even a Gale could stop this island from making whatever mischief it seemed intent on making.

Therefore the lecture was short.

"A lot of religions and other ethical systems have 'honor thy father and mother' as a tenet," Alysha said.  "Pay attention to your elders.  Do their bidding and respect them.  The question I have for you today is 'how far?'"

And she went to sit on her desk to listen to the discussion.

Karla was also displeased with today's lecture. Between her memories and Jaenelle's, there were a number of fathers and father-figures that called up intense emotions, few of which could be called respectful.
