    This reminds me of the time my niece was 2 years old, and in a resteraunt she started standing on the booth seat, instead of sitting.

    So my brother in law (her dad) asked her to sit. And she didn’t want to sit. So my BIL said “Look at everybody. Mommy’s sitting. Daddy’s sitting. Uncle is sitting. Nana is sitting. Everybody is sitting, and we’d like you to sit too! Can’t eat food like that if you’re standing!”

    And then she sat down.

    That was 10 years ago, and it stood out because if that were me at age 2, my dad would have just yelled and me, picked me up, and dropped me hard on my ass until I stopped getting up.

    It was one of those “so THIS is what good parenting looks like…” moments.

    That’s not true, a flock of Cardinals gathers around him and chews up food then spits it into the Pope’s mouth. You should watch the National Geographic special on it, it’s really quite amazing.

      Unless there are a bunch of bare chested Vatican natives in it i probably won’t sit through a NG special on the Pope.
