Here’s What We Think Of The British Museum Deciding The Word “Mummy” Is Offensive To Mummies

I shared this in our family chat today with my daughter who is very into Egyptology and has been for many years.




My daughter responded with this.

Why, yes, thank you. I am a good homeschooling mother who is teaching my daughter to understand ridiculousness whenever she sees it. 

(Caroline: “Can I start calling you mummy?”)

We’ll probably also go out of our way to use the word “mummy” as much as possible this week. And the next. And for some time. 

Here are a few pictures from the 2015 King Tut exhibit at the Grand Rapids Public Museum. The lighting in there was not conducive to getting great photos, but we did the best we could. The entire exhibit was very good. Caroline was thrilled!

For 20+ years, I’ve been writing about following Jesus Christ and making choices based on what is true, beautiful, and eternal. Through purposeful living, self-employment, and homeschooling, our family has learned that freedom comes from a commitment to thoughtfully examine all of life and think for yourself.
