"You know, Belinda isn't returning next year. Her father wants her in Catholic school for her sacraments. I guess he's the Catholic one; her mom is Presbyterian, conservative Presbyterian. They're just like Catholics, aren't they?"

"Oh, um, well it depends on how conservative, you know? Sometimes not just like us, no."

My mind turned briefly to notions of church polity and orderly worship ...

"Well, they believe in the Trinity, don't they?"

"The Trinity? Oh, yes, absolutely, without a doubt."

"Well, that's good enough, then, right? She had been attending Sunday School at her mom's church, but now her mom regrets letting him baptize her Catholic. He wants her to have a faith-based education from now on."

I'm sorry to see her go; she's one of the sweetest girls in the school.
