Out of the mouths of babes . . .

When we say our family Rosary in the evening, we often sing the Credo instead of reciting the Apostles Creed. One night my then five-year old daughter was not being attentive and insisted we hadn't done all the prayers. I said we had recited the Creed rather than sing the Credo. "Oh," she replied, "No wonder I didn't understand it. You were saying it in English!"

My daughter was flipping through the pages of a telephone book one day when she asked me, "Mom, everyone has a telephone number, right?" I agreed. She went on, "Then I guess you can kind of tell who is who by their special telephone number, right?" I agreed. "Okay," she demanded, "So who is 985-4206?"
