About: Preacher's Kid   Sponge Permalink

An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : dbkwik.org associated with source dataset(s)

All children are individuals who exhibit good and bad behavior, regardless of what their parents do for a living. Except these kids. If you're a preacher's kid in fiction, you're either a perfect little angel or--more commonly--a beastly little devil more devoted to mischief and/or promiscuity than any kind of religious study. Bonus points for being the latter while people think you're the former, an ability no doubt gained from your years of living under a household where learning to hide your extracurricular activities proves to be a tad bit more important than mathematics.

Of course, in actuality preacher's kids run the gamut in personality traits, but their screw ups tend to be far more public. Think about it: If you're the child of say, a chef, and you're caught doing something morally ambiguous or even downright illegal how many people in your town would really care? (If you're a bad cook on the other hand...) But if you're a preacher's kid? Let's hope you didn't inhale. From the kid's perspecive, it might be because everything is Forbidden Fruit. Making something morally off-limits only makes it more tempting for many kids to do. Subtrope of The Cobbler's Children Have No Shoes (for the beastly kind). Examples of Preacher's Kid include:
