Towards the end of Mass today our five-year-old, who up to that point had been fidgeting, suddenly became very still and tilted his head toward the altar as if listening for something.
Then, at the moment the priest announced, "The Mass has ended, go now in peace", my son pumped his arm and whispered "Yes!" (and let me just say right here and now that when a five-year-old whispers, it is still loud).
I was mortified...but the people behind us thought it was funny. They laughed.

Mortificata? Devi essere felice di avere un bambino così simpatco e sincero. Timothy, ti vogliamo bene!!!
That's so funny! My other 5th grade teacher's son did the same thing!

I remember that feeling!

Once a priest said the words at the end in the wrong order, so that he ended with "The Mass is Ended" and we all intoned, "Thanks be to God."
Cracked me up.
Just his way of saying, "Thanks be to God!" Means the same thing..."Yes, I will go and serve the Lord." Right? Have a grand day! Cathy
Sounds just like my boys, they've all done that in some form or fashion and I keep insisting that I won't pray the prayer of humility anymore, I get heaps of it without praying that prayer! *smile*
LOL! Patrick does that a lot! We don't find it funny but everyone usually thinks it is sooo cute!
oh my, that is hilarious.
