As a Pastor's Kid (PK), people always assume you're either the perfect kid or rebellious, and there's nothing in between. That isn't true, well not completely. Some of us are "perfect," others are rebellious, and then there are the ones that aren't necessarily perfect but were not rebellious either. We're almost a happy medium right in the middle of being perfect and being rebellious. However, all of us have things in common that non-pastor's kids would never understand and that's how we stick together.
1. You went to church every single Sunday since birth.
For as long as you can remember, you've spent every Sunday morning at church.
2. You're expected to be the perfect kid.
Oh you're a pastor's kid? You must be an angel and do everything right.
3. You know basically every song in the hymnal.
You don't even need to look at the hymnal anymore, you're just that good.
4. You can recite all the books of the Bible.
Old Testament: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, Joshua, Judges, Ruth, etc.
New Testament: Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts, etc.
5. You were always the only kid in Sunday school that already knew everything.
Have a question about the Bible? Just ask the pastor's kid.
6. You practically lived at the church.
You might as well set up a room for yourself since you're sometimes there more than you are at home.
7. Whenever religion came up at school, the teachers always turned to you.
And you'd always be like, "Please don't look at me, just because my dad and/or mom is a pastor doesn't mean I know every single detail about all religions."
8. Elderly people always come up to you.
And you never knew who they were, but they knew who you were.
9. You become the topic of your parent(s')sermons every so often.
Whether you did something good or bad.
10. You feel bad if you don't go to church on Sunday.
You always get guilt gut when you skip church.
