While listening to Fr. Corapi on tv while we were coloring tonight, Fr. Corapi started talking about Padre Pio, a Catholic saint who had the stigmata. The following was our conversation:
Isabel exclaims: Paw-der-a-uh Pio!
Me: Yes, he's talking about Paw-dray, Paw-dray Pio.
Isabel: Paw-dray Pio. *pause* Oh just like we met Padre Pio.
Me: Oh, ummm.....what??? (for those of you who don't know, Saint Pio died in 1968, so we've never met him).
Isabel: (repeats) Just like Padre Pio we met.
Me (now with some interest): Oh, so when did you meet Padre Pio?
Isabel (very matter of fact): At Grammy's church....at Grammy's church with me and Grammy and you were there too.
Me: (Looks at her completely confused).
Isabel: (Looks at me like, 'remember?') At Grammy's church; the small church.
Me: (Really confused, as Grammy's church does indeed have a big church and a small chapel where we sometimes go for daily Mass). Ummm....are you sure it was Padre Pio? Wasn't it Father Nick or Brother Michael you met there?
Isabel: Nope, it was Padre Pio.
Me: (starting to wonder if she's had a vision of Padre Pio that I missed out on... I later continue questioning) So what did he say when he met you?
Isabel: Ummm....I don't remember.
And that was the end of our conversation!
