He Must Not.....................

Every year, I have my students read the entry posted Friday called The Princess Bride And MookDa's List. It will explain what I'm about to type here. On Friday, after talking about the previously mentioned article, everyone in my Gospels' classes listed five absolutes about the person they will marry in both the positives (He Must/She Must) and the negative (He Must Not/She Must Not). Here is the third installment from my young ladies. They are high schoolers and all are used by permission:

He must not have a criminal record. Sarah
He must not be shorter than me. Madison
He must not be a smoker or obsessive drinker. Lyanne

Applicable quote of the day:
