Preacher's Kid

So Parker, who never tells me anything about school, nada. Not even about gym, recess or lunch, the biggies. He didn't even tell me he had a new teacher. For all I know I drop him off and he skips school all day, finally shared a tidbit, and its kinda funny. "Mom, when I raise my hand a lot to answer questions during Bible time, my teacher calls on me and then tells my other teacher (he has two, one in training), that I do so well and know answers cuz my daddy is a preacher" So my thoughts were, great, you're already being typecast and labeled the preachers kid, I can just see the other kids rolling their eyes. But I was also proud to know he actually raised his hand. (I already knew he has a crazy accurate mind for all things Bible). But he is so shy in school I was shocked to hear he actually raised his hand to answer. I was worried he only answered during Bible time so I asked him if he raised his hand during math, reading etc. and shockingly he does. So there ya go. I'm happy and concerned all at once. Happy he knows God's Word well, happy he feels the freedom and confidence to raise his hand. But I'm also seeing him being that "annoying preacher's kid with all the Bible answers" and then the final concern is that, is this all he will be. That he'll  never know he can skip class, that he can rebel at times, that he can love the dummies and the heathens of the world :) that he would love Jesus really and truly with his heart, soul AND mind. But I also don't want this to be his early phase, he gets burned out by always knowing the Bible answers and living up at the church, that he forsakes us all and rebells forever. So can you tell I'm reading way to much into this simple comment of his. It was funny, but gave me pause, I guess that's all I'm saying.
