Tiffany Haddish Presents: Kids Have Amnesty…SAY…What!?

Scene: The Glass House Pie Fight

"Alright, squad—here's a real brain-buster for you. The Bible says no one sin is greater than another. That means, in God's eyes, all mess-ups are equal. So if you live in a glass house (and let's be real, most grown-ups do), maybe don't throw stones—especially if your own windows are looking a little smudged. But here's the thing: If all sins are equal, why do adults act like it's a contest to see who can call out the most mistakes? Why are they throwing sins in each other's faces like it's Pi Day and everyone gets a slice?"

Kids' Honest Opinions

"If all sins are equal, then why do grown-ups act like theirs are just 'mistakes' and everyone else's are 'the end of the world'?"

"Throwing stones in a glass house? I'm not even allowed to throw socks in my room!"

"It's like everyone's got a scoreboard: 'Oh, you lied? Well, I only cheated a little on my taxes, so I win!'"

"If you're busy pointing at everyone else's mess, you're probably not cleaning up your own."

"If sins are all the same, then why do people act like some are 'super-size' and some are 'fun-size'?"

"Maybe instead of throwing stones, we should hand out cleaning supplies. Everyone's windows are dirty."

"And let's be real: In some families, if you forget to call your mother, you might as well be Hitler. That's the ultimate sin—skip a phone call and suddenly you're on the Most Wanted list!"

On Pi Day and Sins

"If it's Pi Day, can I get a slice of 'mind your own business' pie?"

"Why do adults love serving up other people's mistakes like dessert? Save some for yourself!"

"If everyone's throwing sins, maybe we should just call it dodgeball and get it over with."

The Kids' Final Verdict

"If you say all sins are equal, act like it. Don't pick and choose who gets forgiven."

"Stop keeping score. If you want us to forgive, show us how it's done."

"Don't throw stones—especially if you're living in a glass house with WiFi and a big TV."

"And if you're going to talk about sin, maybe start by saying, 'Me too.'"

"And seriously, call your mom. It's the only commandment that comes with a guilt trip and a side of meatloaf."
