Also, I was on the subway and talking to someone I had just met. We were talking about the holidays and he said something about how his 5-year-old daughter went to church with him a couple times (he's Catholic) and he said, "She doesn't quite get it yet." I thought, "Well, of course not! Many adults don't get it themselves!" but I didn't say anything. And he said, "But I think Church is important because I want to make sure she has a moral foundation." I thought, "Of all the places to get a moral foundation...the Catholic Church??" But I didn't say anything. I should have but I was a bit tired and I had to get off at the next stop to go to work.
