You Can Take the Girl Out of the Church, But...

Yesterday I pointed out to DD#2 that all four candles were lit on the Advent Wreath.

"Hmmm," she whispered. "I wonder if Sis will change the background on the TV."

"Change what background?"

"The background to the onscreen menu. She made it purple when Advent started, then changed it to pink last week. I wonder if she'll change it back?"

So, my DD#1, who argues with me long and hard about how irrelevant the Church is and how it is so much superstition, is following Advent in her own, unique way.

You may be able to take the Girl out of the Catholic Church, but you can't take the Catholic Church out of the Girl...
