Plagiarism


About a week or so ago, Annalise told Mommy that when she grew up she was going to write a book called Reformation Heroes. Mommy informed her that she could not write the exact same book as that particular one had already been written. Later that evening, Annalise was telling me about a story she was going to write about a large family. Austin piped up, announcing that he was going to write a story also.


Annalise asked, "What are you going to write about?"


"I am going to write about Jesus dying on the cross," Austin answered.

With great condescension, Annalise rested her elbow on the table where Austin sat and explained, "That would be stealing an idea. You'd be stealing John's idea and Matthew, Mark's, and Luke's."
