Ahhh....penance.

"If you ha' no penny, a ha'penny will do. If you have no ha'penny, then God bless you...."

Reminds me of my grandson (2 yrs old) who was fascinated with "pennies", but graduated to "money." He refers to all of it as "ney" (as in pen"ny" and mo"ney")


Then he decided he really liked candy, and it got elevated to "ney" status. Properly pronounced cand"ney."

I'm sure there are cultures someplace that use candney as a medium of exchange.

I could do worse than trading in chocolate covered cherries.

(And you are correct: this is entirely off the subject...and only tangentially related to penance. :>)

The kindness and love shown to your grandchildren will more than make-up for any of your doctrinal deficiencies. As it is said, our Final Judgment is not a Theology Exam but whether or not we loved with the Love of Jesus
