Cat has never been around young children and doesn't trust them, and they are too young to be cautious or to recognize her warning signs, so this keeps everyone safe and happy. Daughter went into my bedroom for something a few weeks ago, and when I let the cat out after their departure, I found that book open on my bed. (Insert smiley icon here.)<br /><br />DS is in his 3rd year at university, studying Classics, including lots of Latin and Greek, and I know won't have time to read it if I give it to him. The trick with him is to casually leave it lying around in the bathroom for a few months . . .<br /><br />I guess I'd better go read it myself!<br /><br />And BTW, our DRE is using Fr. Robert Barron's series on the Eucharist for our Catechist Formation sessions this year. Good stuff!Stitchworthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05387323354607079249noreply@blogger.com
