My mother is 87 years old, and I stay with her during the daytime. She spends much of the day alternating between Fox News and Catholic television channels; one of her favorite shows involves priests from Boston singing songs that she grew up with. They also engage in some friendly banter, which my mother made clear yesterday is not to her liking. She was watching the show, and I was busy with something, vaguely aware of the show in the background. I wasn’t paying attention, until my mother exclaimed in a loud and very irritated voice, “Stop with the talking and sing the song!” I started laughing when she did this: my mother wasn’t laughing, she was totally serious and highly annoyed with the talking priest.
I reminded her of this later on in the day, and I told her that she was funny: she shrugged, and said “Well, I’m there for the singing, I’m not there for the talking.”
I love elderly people 🙂

Fr. Chris and Fr, Paul got the memo, I’m sure. 😃 (When I saw your title, I recalled one of Laura Ingraham’s early books.) I love older folks, too.

Yup….Several of the priests who celebrate daily mass are favorites: Fr. Adrian Millick, Fr. Richard Erickson – retired Air Force chaplain – Fr. Walter Carrero, and the priest who heads up the ministry for the Deaf in Boston – not forgetting Bp. Reed and Cdl. O’Malley, They’re all a grand bunch. 🙂

It’s often on in the background at my Mom’s, but I don’t watch closely enough to pick up on names 🙂
