Michael is VERY well behaved at Mass. Whether it be a quick daily Mass, or a longer Sunday Mass, he measures up to anyone's standards of good behavior almost all the time. He knows all the words (even the priest's, and he sometimes tries to compete with him!), he sings the songs (even tries to learn the responsorial psalm each day), he kneels when it's time to kneel, and prayers for his friends and family after communion.
But sometimes, especially on Sundays when the promise of donuts after Mass weighs heavily on his mind, he can lose focus.
Today, a few minutes before Mass ended, he turned to me and very loudly whispered, "Mommy! We're gonna get donuts after Mass, ok? Sounds like a good idea?"
So, don't let his piety fool you all the time, like the rest of us, his mind sometimes wanders to more earthly treasures...

Ha! Ha! Ha! He loves God and donuts!!! :) Nothing wrong with that. Cute post.
I like how Michael words it in a wishful thinking kind of way -- too cute! Like he's trying to convince you gently and bring you around to thinking how great an idea getting donuts is.
It's much better than what I normally hear from my boys: "Donuts, PLEAAAAASE!". Thankfully, they usually remember the "please", but it's barked out as more of a command than as a nice request. Ah well, we're working on it!
Oh my gosh! Michael has thee funniest personality EVER!
Please give him a hug from me :)
