Right before Labor Day Jo and CoCo will be starting at our local Catholic school, Queen of Apostles. Unfortunately our parish (St. James) no longer has a school. So when we stopped by Queen of Apostles Church today, it was Jo and CoCo's first time inside.
Jo and CoCo looked up at pictures etched in the glass windows and pointed out Mother Mary and Baby Jesus.
Jo: Who are all those boys sitting around Mary and Jesus?
I explained they are Jesus' closest friends, the 12 Apostles.
Without missing a beat Jo asked:
But where's Mary Magdalene?
She stumped me on that one.
I told her she'll have to ask Uncle Adam or Uncle Marc why Mary Magdalene (or any other women) aren't one of the 12.

2000 years of patriarchy, Jo. But maybe you'll help us change that?
