Yeah well, it’s a story for kids and I’m not bright enough to explain the Catechism the way others her can do. I did say it was a story for my kids, right?
>>On a more practical matter, after the kid took all the nails out, who picked up the fence pieces lying around and stacked them back up? :-)<<

Yes, I’m a dad, and I often come up with clever “teaching moments” which invariably lead to the equivalent of me having to pick up all the boards and put them away.
