Growing up in Sunday school the way I did, you learned your “begats”:
- “And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah…” (Genesis 5:21).
Here’s how this old-fashioned verb works:
- You beget today. (You bring something into existence.)
- You begat or begot yesterday.
- (And you’ve begotten in the past participle.)
So those sacks begot an injury for Luck, and report on it begat a post from me, all of which has begotten this Lucky little teaching moment. Sort of like Sunday school, but with shoulder pads.
Beget? That’s the only problem with this whole paragraph of confusion? This is where I would listen to Fess Parker when he said; “don’t over complicate simple things.”
