Meanwhile... yesterday during Acolyte training...

(Yes, I'm serious. Sporta wants to be an Acolyte.)

I got to have this conversation with the Deacon:

Me: "Are you sure it's a good idea to let Sporta walk through the church with fire for heaven's sake? I mean, I don't know that I would even want her lighting candles at home...."

Deacon R.: "Oh yeah... she'll be fine! After all, what's the worst that could happen?"

Me: ::total Bou *blink*:: "Are you serious?? How many "what's the worst that could happen" scenarios would you like for me to lay out for you?!?!"

Deacon R.: ::chuckling:: "You mom's worry to much..."

Me: "Well, yeah... Hello! That's our whole job!"

Deacon R.: ::shaking his head and chuckling at me:: "She'll be fine."

Me: "Oh sure... That's what everybody says before some kid burns God's house down..."

Deacon R.: ...

I know, I know. I'll be fine.

After all, they serve wine there... ;-)
