Baby in a rubber band

I asked the kids to put rubber bands around their Latin flashcards. Yes, I learn it, then I teach it (Latin).

"It's just like putting a baby in a rubber band," mumbled a boy to himself as he struggled to loop it around.

Hmm...what?

After Mass on Ash Wednesday I whispered to the little girl sitting next to me to say a quiet prayer to Jesus.

With great enthusiasm she exclaimed, "We're going to Chuck E. Cheese's?"

Incredible.

Thank you God for these children and the joy they bring to my life. Amen-- "Yes, I believe!"
