Me: “When you get your first Communion, we’ll get you some dress pants that you like and a new, nice shirt, and you can wear your ties.”
Xavier: “Can we wear anything we want?”
Me: “I guess you can, within reason.”
Liam: “Can I wear a cape!?”
J: “Where are you headed?”
Me: “District office.”
J: “May the force be with you.”
Me: “And also with you.”
J: “You’re like a goddamn Episcopal Jedi.”
Me: “Episcopal? Try Catholic.”
J: “Oh. Extra guilt.”
Me: “Yes, but we are also required to exclusively bareback, so that’s a plus.”
J: “I’m pretty sure that’s not what they’ve been teaching you.”
Me: “Agree to disagree.”
(Note: If you type “bareback” into google images…you rarely get a picture involving horses. Even if you type in “bareback horses”. )
