Scene: at church, in the middle of Mass. 3rd pew from front. Jimdad leaves the pew at the Sign of Peace to head up to the altar, like the other 9 Eucharistic Ministers.
Kaden, suddenly realizing Jim left: Where Daddy go?
Me: to the altar.
Kaden, starting toward the end of the pew: I go to altar, too.
Me, grabbing the back of his shirt: not yet. stay here.
Kaden: I go to altar too!
Nana: Shhh! Daddy's going to help Father.
Kaden, standing up straight and tall: I help Father, too.
Nana and me, whispering louder: No! It's for bigger boys, older boys.
Kaden, very loudly, dragging his last word into a loud whine: I a big boooooyyyyy.
Mamak grabs toddler and exits quickly, stage right.
