My husband and I were both raised Roman Catholic. I have abandoned it, he's still there (but he's really inquisitive and accepting of what I am). We have 3 boys. My oldest, Carmen is almost 4 1/2, middle son Angelo, will be 3 in Oct., and the Baby, Domenico is 1. And I agreed to raise them Catholic, and let them decide when they're older what they want.
We went to visit his parents yesterday, and his mother was giving the boys stuff for Halloween. She handed Angelo a rubber witch..he said 'what is it?'..she said it's a witch honey. He said 'No it isn't...it's an icky monster'. She says 'no honey, it's a witch, see her hat and green face and ugly nose?'.
At this point he looks at her like she's an idiot 'No, it's no witch. Mommy's a witch and she doesn't have a green face or big nose'. I almost DIED laughing! My mother in law deems everything having to do with witchcraft, psychic powers, divination etc as 'devil crap'' . SHe knows I'm 'witchy', but I've never really come out and told her...it was amusing...she just ignored it and started talking to lil Carm :hehehehe:
By the time we were driving home, it was sunset, and as we were heading east, the moon was coming out in front of us. Angelo saw it and freaked, 'THE MOON!!!!!!!!!'.The entire time home we played 'where's the moon now' as it kept disappearing behind hills and trees, everytime it came back out he got SUPER excited. He wanted to know the moon's name..I told him Luna. So the last 10 minutes of the ride he spent yelling 'Hi MY Luna!!!! It's Angelo!!!!' and just carrying on conversation with 'his' moon. He wanted to buy her a present at the store, so we got her some apple cider and cakes.
He cracks me up...and I told hubby...try raising this one Catholic, it ain't gonna work ;)
I'm talking him with me to the witchy store here next time I go..let him pick himself out some stones and see what else he likes :D
