Episcopalians

We were having a conversation at the dinner table the other night about different religions. I want to make sure that both my kids have a healthy knowledge of and respect for all the world's religions.

We were talking about different sects of Christianity when 10-year old Sammy asked, "What about the Episcopals?"

The thing is, having only ever read the word and never having heard it pronounced, what came out of his mouth was "What about the Eppy-scope-als?"

It took us a minute to figure out what he was talking about. My initial thought was that he was referring to some sort of medical instrument. "Mrs. Jones, we just got the test results back and it looks like we will need to perform an epi-scopal procedure."

I just hope that he doesn't think that those who follow the Pope are overdosing on felines ("Cat-holics." Get it?).
