Grownups are not the only ones prone to distraction in church. Case in point:
As Father H began his homily today, he mentioned that he was going to use a Really Big Word: Transubstantiation. Little Brother’s eyes opened wide. That’s a BIG word! I grabbed a pen and wrote it on the front of his “Magnifikid” so he could see just how big it is.
He pondered the word for a few seconds, then poked Big Brother to show it to him. Then he appeared to be sitting and listening nicely–until he tapped me on the arm and whispered, “Do cones have vertices?”
