Both of our kids started Catholic school this year. As a result, our household conversations have changed just a bit.
For instance, our oldest, Jack (age 7), said after one week in school "All we do is pray, pray, pray! We pray when school starts. We pray in the morning. We pray at lunch. We go out to recess, and then (pauses for effect) WE PRAY SOME MORE!". Me "It's Catholic school honey. There's bound to be prayers".
Our youngest, Mackenzie (who turned 5 today), had a different take on Catholic school. "Mom, I know I'm not supposed to say Jesus (as in "JE-SUS, Mom!") at our house, but at school, I get to say it alllllllll I want". Always looking for the angle, that one.
Last night, I overhead the following religious debate between our two kids.
Jack "Mom and Dad know everything!"
Mackenzie (authoritarian tone) "Only Mary and Jesus know everything"
Jack counters with "What about Joseph?"
Mackenzie, with a suspicious tone of voice "Joseph?...I don't know about him (he's suspect)".
