Socio-Religious Dialogue at our house

Joey, "Dad what does ponchince mean?"

Me, "What?"

Joey, "Ponchince!"

Me, "What? Is that a word? Can you spell it?"

(repeat for about 5min)

Joey, "Mom! What does Ponchince mean?" (He's decided that I'm an idiot at this point.)

Jane, "Joey! Talk to your Dad!"

(minutes of discussion pass with various other kids adding their views)

Finally,

Me, "Joey, where did you read this?"

Joey, "Oh. In the Bible. Pontius Pilate"

Me, "OOOOh. That's a person's name."

Fin, "Yeah, like Krusty the Clown!"

I like the theology you are brewing over there.

[Molly]

He was probably wondering what type of plane a Pontius is.

question to Jerry from St. Agatha teacher: What's your favorite prayer?
answer: Sitteth.
What?
Finally figured out it was "sitteth at the right hand of God." from the creed, old version.
