Referring to a window that he saw of St. Francis Xavier converting some pagans, Karol reported:
“They didn’t have any halos yet because they weren’t holy people.”
Margaret: “Jesus wasn’t carrying the cross because it was too heavy. He was on the cross with a crown of thorns. The soldiers whipped Him. They put a sign on the cross.”
Mama: “What did the sign say?”
Margaret: “…dying…and whipping…”
Karol: “Did God give me everything?”
Papa: “Uh-huh.”
Karol:”That’s why He’s great, isn’t it?”
Karol: “Can we go out and bury things?”
Mama: “No, we will just go for a walk.”
Margaret: “We are just Karol and Margaret, we can’t bury things like George*!!”
*they were watching a Curious George episode when I told them we were going to go for a walk
Mama: “Karol, did you toot?”
Karol: “No!” *sniffs the air* “Smells like rug.”
Karol: “What happens if we see a roast shark walkin’? It will scare us and we will have to walk away from it!”
Karol: ” If you are bleeding you need a band-aid.”
Karol: “If your lip is bleeding, you need a napkin to get the bleeding off.”
Karol to Mama, while Mama is making dinner: “When you give me food that is good, that makes God happy.”
Karol: “When Caecilia came out of you, the last time, she was eating a pretzel and said “Oscar”.”
