Day One

PK: It's a moniker that only other PKs can fully understand and appreciate. Being a preacher's kid means that you spend a fairly large percentage of your growing-up years inside churches on Sundays and Wednesday nights, parishioner's' homes during the Sunday Dinner hour, and funeral homes several times a month. It means that everyone expects you to be a "goodie-two-shoes" which , of course, is why PKs tend to go out of their way to pretend to be bad asses. PKs typically lead two very different lives. One life is that of the consummate conscientious Christian the other is that of a renegade rebel with a pretty serious cause: to prove to all of your peers that you are not who they think you are. The more conservative the preacher, the more rebellious and radical the PK. Trust me, I know what I'm talking about here. I was well into my 30's before I realized that I don't have to prove anything to anyone regarding my PK status.
