Saints

Luke came home from a CCD mass last night and this was the conversation at dinner:

Luke: Mom, who decides if someone becomes a saint.

Mom: (I did my best to explain)

Luke: Well Mrs. Burke is a saint.

Mom: Your teacher? I don’t think so buddy.  Why do you think that?

Luke: Daddy said it this weekend.  He said that she was a saint.

Mom: Oh no buddy, he was kind of kidding, like a figure of speech.

Luke: No mom, he said it.  He said she was a saint.

Earlier conversation:

Daddy: Mrs. Burke is a saint to put up with a classroom full of second graders all day, every day.
