An easily distracted seventeen-year-old I was tutoring said to me today, “Hey, Chutney, I’m going to start talking to you in a language I just made up.”
He then proceeded to speak in tongues—at least in the opinion of this experienced ex-charismatic. And by “speaking in tongues,” I mean he sounded exactly like the red blooded tongue talker at the Pentecostal Holiness nearest you. I didn’t much appreciate that.
We have a new rule now: No speaking in tongues while working on SAT long reading comprehension.
this makes me giggle.
so THATS why I heard ya’ll talking about pentacostal.
why did it annoy you?
Good question. He sounded not just like a tongue talker, but like me tongue talking, at that age. I mean, the same “words” and everything.
Spooky.
