Reconciliation

Last night, we had the usual chaos getting the kids to bed. It was late, everyone was overtired, including mom and dad.

I had done laundry that day, so Riley had several piles of clothes to put away. I told her I wasn't happy she hadn't gotten them put away and that if she didn't get them done tomorrow, she'd be grounded. With that, she told me her dad had already grounded her.

Why did he ground you, Riley?

Because I was fooling around in the car and wasn't listening to him.

Didn't you just go to Reconciliation today for CCD?

Yeah, but they just absolve you and all I had to do was say a Hail Mary.

Yes, but you did know not listening to your parents is a sin, right?

I know, Mom, but don't blame me...blame Adam and Eve, it's their fault I sin.
