What a tremendous experience! My daughter (8) enjoyed it too. Don’t tell the school that we snuck her out for an unauthorized field trip. Thank you so much for posting about this very moving event.

Yes, ‘twould be a most excellent name for a band. I’d go see a band with a name like that.

(If it’s not already a band name then it should be.)

Some people actually think that way.

It’s a cop out because it lets the parents off the hook because, hey, the monks were going to destroy it anyway, so if anything the toddler is not unruly and unsupervised, but enlightened.

Or some such utter hogwash.

The designation “Toddler” should tell you everything. Don’t toddlers live a certain way? The monks, above all, should understand this–considering their religion. It’s not like the kid jumped on a table at Fellini’s and trampled your pizza.
