Proud or Ashamed?

In a small college town, a tavern frequented by students ran the following ad in a campus paper during the days before Parent’s Weekend:
“Bring your parents for lunch Saturday.  We’ll pretend we don’t know you.”
The ad was challenged by the campus chaplain who put a revision of it on the campus bulletin board.  It read:
“Bring your parents to services.  We’ll pretend we know you well.”

Of course, now in the 21 st century we must ask: are we better or worse for it?
