Saucy Girl has a lil' bff at school this year, G. G is not Catholic. As a matter of fact, G's Daddy is a Protestant pastor. G & Saucy apparently were praying yesterday that I wouldn't be able to make it to the school in time for pick-up and they could go home together (note: twice I've been stuck in traffic trying to get to the school so G's momma took Saucy home with them). During their prayer, Saucy instructed G on The Sign of The Cross. At bedtime Saucy described the scenario to me. Of course I just about died as I thought of G telling her Mommy & Daddy all about crossing herself! :) I told Saucy that G & her family are not Catholic so they do not cross themselves. Her puzzled little face looked at me while she asked, "Then what do they do when they pray?" I told her that usually they just bow their head and close their eyes. She asked if they make 'praying hands' also.
After thinking about it for a minute Saucy said, "Well, she got the hang of it".

Cute story. Even CUTER picture! Thanks for spending time on my blog today.
Wonderful. She is so cute!
TOO FUNNY! Oh yes, I can just imagine the conversation at home that night. hee hee!
As a little Protestant girl, I was always jealous of the sign of the cross. It's just so cool. I went to Catholic high school and signed to my heart's content.
my kids constantly ask 'is so and so a Catholic?' or 'are they Christian?' i think they are finally understanding the concept that all Catholics are Christian, but not Christians are Catholic.
