dr saint francis and mrs. hyde

she cried at church recently when she was looking in a prayer book at
a picture of the Holy Spirit depicted as a dove on fire.
"don't let the birdie be on fire!"

BUT...
when my scizzors turned up after a few days missing she proudly
announced that it was her who took them outside. i asked her why she
took my scizzors outside.
"to cut the ants. they don't bite me when i cut them."
true. true.
