• ~Random Thoughts- A Sign of the Times~

  The other night we were out to dinner enjoying the nice weather and eating Middle Eastern food el fresco.  This reminded Fr. of his time in Egypt as a young college student. He had the boys full attention as he recalled his travels to Cairo, riding a camel,  the pyramids and his stay at Mt. Sinai and St. Katherine’s Monastery. The were all silent as we sat and ate and Baba’ reminisced; one memory recalled the time that he had to stop and buy film for his camera at which point the boys all interjected with, “What’s film?”

  On a related note….Maria~Angelica enjoys babbling little musical ditties. She zones out in her car seat as we are driving along and sings her little heart out. The rest of us just enjoy listening to her.  The other day in the middle of one of her tunes she kept repeating the same sound. I said to the boys, “I think her needle is stuck.” They said, “What do you mean Mom?”

  Jonah (age 6) and I were talking the other day. In the course of our conversation he mentioned to me that he wasn’t going to get married. I said to him,  ”Well you can’t have children if you don’t get married.”  And he responded ever so quickly and with complete confidence, “Yes you can!  You know those kids on Yiayia’s street with the trampoline? Their parents aren’t married.”  After he so proudly pointed out the obvious to me, he followed up with a very earnest, “How’d they do that?”
