Diego had been naughty while he was running with Giancarlo last Sunday. They returned and he was going to be on time out after eating his lunch.
While he ate, Grandma and Grandpa walked in and asked, "Diego, do you want to go to mass with us?"
Without hesitating, Diego nodded yes. Usually he has to mull this offer over a bit and decide if there's a possibility of there being anything in it for him, like a lunch at a favorite restaurant or a post-church jaunt to Toys R Us.
As he prepared to leave with his grandparents, Diego asked, "Since I didn't have my time-out yet, can church be my punishment?"
To which Giancarlo responded, "No, Diego, you weren't that naughty."

tee hee hee....I love your husband!
He couldn't have been THAT bad, or you would've sent him to a Baptist church.
PRICELESS!! :)
LOVE it! Too funny! I also agree with Katie. :)
LOL!
Hahahahhaa...that's parenting at its finest!
Now if we could just use that as punishment at school!
I would definitely have taken the time-out.
I think Giancarlo and I would really, really get along!
Love it. :)
LOL Love it!
: ) hilarious.
I love going to our church. It just makes me feel like everything is in place.
Church seems to be my punishment every week. This was quite funny.
bwahahahah i love it! and like cheech i love your hubby too!!!!
That's great!
Church as a punishment? He reminds me of my own sons who tell me the same thing...
HaHa.
I love it!!!
I've never seen that tried on Super Nanny.
Your Friend, m.
Ha! Too funny!
Diego's one smart boy!
I thought you were saying "punishment en masse" rather than Mass as punishment. Just wait until you start him at CCD. Even my school-loving boy hates it!
nice.
Well, church as punishment woulda worked for me! I'd have done anything to get out of that, including a belt across the butt. Yeah, those were the days.
Love it! Smart little fella!

OH LITTLE dude :) Btw, Our mutual friend Cheri was telling me how awesome you are :)
This is hilarious. Diego is very smart. Giancarlo, perhaps even smarter.
xoRobyn
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
My husband, when in grade school, called CCD the Central City Dump. And he drew pictures of Coke vending machines in the workbooks as part of the Bible scenes.
Bwahahahahaha!!!
Best story in a while!
What a cute story! I’ve found Quaker Meeting to be a deeply fulfilling spiritual practice. But you’ve got to sit there and not talk. No stand up-kneel down-repeat-wafer, nothin’... If (Mass = Punishment), I’m sure (QM = Hell) for 90%+ of the kid population out there! :)
As a lapsed Catholic, I think Diego may have had a point...
Good one!
Hee hee!
