Out of the mouth of babes, redux

"ppeiy. K.A.O. GOD IN HEVIN! GOD IN HEVIN! WE ALL LOVE YOU SO! & WE ALL LOVE YOU'RE SON, JESUS! WE PRAY (mite not be rite) FOR LOVE!"

At first I thought "ppeiy" might be an inverted "yippee!", but I think it's actually a stab at "pray" or "prayer".


Detail from obverse (click for entire image).

The Deity is here represented (I think) as a robed and bearded eye, brandishing what appear to be magic wands. Lines are coming out of the eye, probably in imitation of the dotted lines used in comics to indicate what someone is looking at.

I'm fairly certain both Torah and Talmud are silent on the subject of purple giraffes.

In my own case, I suspect Sunday school of some kind. I'll have to quiz my parents.

This was a place where they said prayers and buried books with Hebrew writing in if somebody had accidentally put a book with English writing in on top of them. I'm sure they could find a reason for purple giraffes to represent a heresy if they really put their minds to it.
When I was about 9, the same rabbi's wife told my mother she had to get rid of the radio, the TV and any magazines lying around the place, because something had been giving me terrible ideas about being a feminist. We laughed all the way home.
