Cooper will receive his 1st reconciliation this Saturday. His teacher, Ms. Rinke, had a funny story during parent-teacher conferences. She told me that she was reviewing the whole confession process--what are sins and how they should tell the priest. She told them not to worry about the number of times they committed a sin because there probably wasn't a way to know exactly how many times you committed that sin. Then she said...Cooper's hand went up in the air.
"I know that I have disobeyed my parents 145 times."
"Really? Can you tell me what each of those 145 times was?"
"No."
"Okay. Then you just need to tell Father Frank or Chris that you disobeyed your parents because if you tell them it was 145 times, they may ask you to list them all off and you would be in there a very long time."
I told Ms. Rinke I think Coop low-balled that number.
