SOCIALIS Saturday: Many of us have small children. All of us were small children, once upon a time. As a parent I find some aspects of Lent difficult to explain to children, which means that in trying to do so, there are ample opportunities for some Lenten laughs as children try to express themselves.
So do you have any funny stories to tell?
Here’s ours from last year: “For Lent I Sacrifice Hitting My Sisters With My Bike“

On my twitter feed @computerforloot asks, “do we have to eat Lentils for Lent?”
Trying to prepare my kids for Lent I was *trying* to explain how and why we make sacrifices and how it makes God happy. I suggested we might eat less ice cream or watch less television. My almost 4 yr old, Lydia, sternly said, “NO! God would NOT like that!”
