Channel surfing with Mother and Dee Dee.

I recently had a wonderful and entirely unexpected moment with Dee Dee on the couch while watching TV.

Mom was putting down baby Mimi, which usually takes a few minutes, and as I was flipping through channels, Dee Dee and I stopped on the last couple decades of the Glorious Mysteries with Mother Angelica.

I asked Dee Dee if she could identify the figures in the Renaissance art that was passing on screen, and she did quite well with most of them (and asked why angels look like chubby babies and why Jesus was giving his mom a crown).

It was like reading the bible together, which, in fact, is what beads and prayers and paintings are all about.
