It kills you to see them grow up.  But I guess it would kill you quicker if they didn't.

Son Two came home from church Tuesday with a plastic glow-in-the-dark rosary.

First I was like, who makes novelty religious items? When will Son Two need to pray the rosary in the dark? Then I remembered how popular those Mary's are in the cabs.

Daughter assumes it is jewelery, and therefore hers for the taking. Son Two doesn't want to share. Normally I settle disputes over toys like King Solomon - if you can't figure it out yourselves (share, take turns, whatever) it goes into the garbage.

But I just can't throw out a rosary. I settled for asking Son Two what Jesus would do if His sister wanted to wear something of His. My kids obviously need remedial Sunday school - I had to explain that Jesus would not knock his sister over and grab for His rosary.
