The first few months Kris was here he would occasionally attend church with us. People were friendly and he seemed to enjoy their attention, but one morning he announced that he was Catholic and didn't go to our church. We found that a very clever way of letting us know that he was no longer interested in coming with us.
Wednesday I watched a little bit of the news regarding the new pope while at the office, with my friend Karen, a very devout Catholic. It was wonderful to see her heartfelt happiness and joy. Upon returning home that afternoon I asked Kris what he thought of the new pope.
Kris: That man talks too much; I can't understand him. Made me miss my soaps.
Me: Did you know that he's the new leader for the Catholic church?
Kris: That man talks too much. I couldn't understand anything. I don't use that language.
Me: Oh, I thought you would be happy because you're Catholic.
Kris: Not the same. He made me miss my soaps.
Timing is everything!
