In which I say: Pack your kid(s) in the car, and go do something boring together!
No, really. Fun is over-rated. I’m sure my latest CatholicMom.com column is just a reminder about what everyone knows . . . but given that this morning on the way to Target I got to explain basements, sump pumps, frost depth, and I think there were a few digressions into fashion, modesty, and I’m not sure what else . . . I stand by my point. Ride around with your kids. It’s time well spent.
Hey and look at Margaret Realy’s column while you’re there — lovely post on doubt and the Holy Family.
We’ve always traveled en masse with the radio off, and get on famously. Plus everyone else in the car is enlightened by my impromptu pontifications.
Sometimes we get on infamously. But the pontificating . . . yes . . . with the small trouble that the junior pontificators sometimes cut into my speaking time. :-).
