As I've mentioned before, we attend a very liberal catholic church.
Yup, you read that right...I actually said 'liberal' and 'catholic' in the same sentence.
We do a whole lotta sitting and not too much sitting-standing-kneeling-standing-sitting-back to kneeling kind of thing that the rest of the catholics do. So I guess it's no surprise that our 9-year-old, glass-half-empty son was unhappy with the visiting priest who was kneelin' it old school. The complaining began around the second reading.
"I'm so tired..."
"...why can't we sit dooowwwnnn??"
"My legs really hurt..."
I tried my best to ignore him but my limits were being seriously tested.
"I just waa-waa-waanna sit..."
Finally, I turned and whispered, "How do you think Jesus felt hanging on the cross?"
His reply?
"At least he had something to lean against!"

Wait a second...
Not having to kneel makes it a "very liberal" Catholic church? If that's the case, the Church should get around to allowing women priests, gay church weddings, etc. in about...oh...50,000 years!
Snort! The little drama man.
Doesn't he have the snotty hand of the little boy sitting next to you to hang on to for support?
Kids say the darnedest things!
