It's been hard to know how to handle the longer fasts with the kids. First, they are so different in lots of ways, so that makes it hard to fast the same way with both of them. In appetites and nutritional needs, they are opposites. I do not insist that they refrain from meat and dairy throughout the fasts. They fast Sunday mornings, and they both make attempts during the fasts and it comes up in conversation. We were driving home after a lovely dinner with Father James and Kh. Karen and Emma, John and Samuel (thank you!) when this exchange took place:
Gunner: I think I’ll fast from cleaning my room.
Lauren: You’ve already done that for a long time.
Gunner: I could be a monk.
You heard it here first. So much for his career as a lip model.
