"Would you like it if every time your children talked to you, they repeated the same thing over and over in monotone, "

Well, I would not like it if they did it in monotone, but I never get tired of hearing them say, "I love you, Dad."

Please be honest with me AlguyA, are you saying you'd never get tired of hearing the same thing repeated over and over for a life time? Be serious.

You love the sound of "I love you daddy" coming from your children because the child is thinking in her mind, I love my daddy, and she's then repeating what her heart is telling her.

If she memorized a long phrase and repeated it so fast you couldn't hear what she said, how long would that please you?

I can't help but remember the story told about Martin Luther, and how his friends mocked him because they could say their prayers by rote, and in a fraction of the time it took him, because he considered what he was saying.

As a Catholic, does it seem to you that his friends were missing the whole point, or don’t you think it matters?

JH :-)
