The look on the little dude's face is great! Hi parents should save it and show it to him in about 10 years. He will be too embarrassed for words. Hehehe!
Boy to Pope: Yes, it looked like a huge hubcap and landed in the middle of St Peter's Square just as I was arriving with Mommy and Daddy. Very strange looking people came out of it and there was a glow all around it. They looked around and then went back in, and the hubcap zoomed straight up into the sky and disappeared.
Pope to boy: Do you expect me to believe that? They don't even have hubcaps anymore; you're way too young to have ever seen a hubcap. You must have seen it on TV.
Boy to Pope: No, I saw it in the sky, and it landed just outside this place. Some guys with tall white pointed hats got on board and it took off.
Pope to aide: Check to see which of the bishops are missing.
Pope to boy: I grant you ten thousand years indulgence (whispers, you'll need it with that kind of story).
Kid thinks: "I'm pretty sure that isn't Santa..." ;)
ReplyDeleteYou know what, TCN, I think that's exactly what he's thinking.
ReplyDeleteI've been to Rome twice and never been in the presence of the Pope. :-(
I suspect he is wondering if this is the most powerful guy in the Church, how could a lady in red knock him on his butt without her being zapped.

ReplyDeleteWho Is This Dude??? I Thought My Mommy Was Taking Me to See Santa Claus!
ReplyDeleteI think he is saying, "I am going to reach into my pocket very slowly Mr. and I don't want you to move a muscle!"
ReplyDeleteor
"I am sorry I will give back the coins in my pocket that I took from the poor box!"
