The Blind Leading the Blind

On our way to church this morning Stacy and I overheard L talking to N in their car seat and N answering her back rather vigorously. Her tone was a little more dictatorial than usual so we tried to peek around when we could and listen in surreptitiously. We found she had a sheet of paper that she had scribbled all these random letters on and she was using it to quiz her brother on their weekly catechism lesson. The only problem was was that she didn't have a clue as to what this week's catechism lesson was. (So much for all our recitals this week...)

It went something like this:

Professor L: Question 21... (Student N: Question 21...)
Professor L: What dost thou believe... (N: What believe...)
Professor L: about the holy cath... (N: holy cath...)
Professor L: Lick church? (N: Lick church!)
Professor L: Answer! (N: Answer!)
Professor L: Jesus and the Holy Ghost... (N: Holy Ghost!)
Professor L: suffered under Pontius Pilate... (N: Pontius Pilate!)
Professor L: and Christ's righteousness! (N: Righteousness!)
Professor L: Because God loves us! (N: God loves us!)
Professor L: Amen! (N: Amen!)

Psalm 8:2 says, "From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise." Very true, but sometimes it's just gibberish.

You should have seen adult catechism - Greg knew perfectly well what the lesson was, just had a hard time getting to it!

I love the holy cath lick church, lol.
