CD #11
00:00:02,942 --> 00:00:04,400
Like people all over the world,
2
00:00:04,942 --> 00:00:07,518
our family has always
had little rituals
3
00:00:07,568 --> 00:00:08,799
that we look forward to.
4
00:00:11,544 --> 00:00:14,058
Like, every Sunday,
we'd head down to ShopWorld
5
00:00:14,108 --> 00:00:15,393
to check out the specials.
6
00:00:15,508 --> 00:00:17,308
Come on, gang!
Let's get a move on!
7
00:00:18,008 --> 00:00:20,108
There was something
about the regularity of it,
8
00:00:20,108 --> 00:00:21,308
and the fact that we all
9
00:00:21,308 --> 00:00:23,420
did it together
that made it special.
10
00:00:26,808 --> 00:00:29,708
Until, one Sunday,
Raja had a thought:
11
00:00:30,108 --> 00:00:31,208
You know,
Mrs. Tolchuck,
12
00:00:31,608 --> 00:00:33,708
ShopWorld is kind
of like your church.
13
00:00:36,008 --> 00:00:38,408
No, Raja. That's not right.
14
00:00:38,408 --> 00:00:40,808
I know it seems funny
to think of it,
15
00:00:40,808 --> 00:00:43,108
but you all go together
on your Sabbath day;
16
00:00:43,108 --> 00:00:45,108
it seems to lift
everybody's spirits;
17
00:00:45,108 --> 00:00:46,508
and you do
leave behind
18
00:00:46,508 --> 00:00:48,308
roughly ten percent
of your income.
19
00:00:48,508 --> 00:00:49,808
There are
many parallels.
20
00:00:54,008 --> 00:00:57,408
You know, Raja, this
weekly shopping trip
21
00:00:57,408 --> 00:01:00,308
that we go on as a family
is just for fun.
22
00:01:00,508 --> 00:01:03,208
It has nothing to do
with our spiritual life.
23
00:01:03,208 --> 00:01:05,008
That would be shallow.
24
00:01:05,708 --> 00:01:08,908
I am sorry.
I meant no offense, huh?
25
00:01:09,108 --> 00:01:12,308
Perhaps it was not as delightful
an observation as I thought.
26
00:01:12,508 --> 00:01:13,290
Gar,
27
00:01:13,780 --> 00:01:15,819
Raja says that
we haven't really
28
00:01:15,869 --> 00:01:18,074
exposed him to our
family's spiritual life yet.
29
00:01:18,174 --> 00:01:21,169
Oh, yeah. God.
Good stuff. Good stuff.
30
00:01:20,474 --> 00:01:22,841
Way up on our list.
Let's get inside.
31
00:01:23,664 --> 00:01:25,452
Oh, look. They're
advertising
32
00:01:25,502 --> 00:01:27,565
brand-name dishes for 50% off.
33
00:01:28,302 --> 00:01:29,802
We're not going in there.
34
00:01:31,102 --> 00:01:31,902
What?
35
00:01:33,402 --> 00:01:35,802
Today, this family
is going to church.
36
00:01:36,202 --> 00:01:37,402
What?
Seriously?
37
00:01:37,402 --> 00:01:38,302
I don't want to go.
38
00:01:38,302 --> 00:01:39,302
Today, this family
39
00:01:39,302 --> 00:01:40,202
is going to church.
40
00:01:40,202 --> 00:01:41,802
Now, get in the damn car!
41
00:01:42,602 --> 00:01:45,502
It had been ten years since
our family had gone to church.
42
00:01:46,202 --> 00:01:47,702
Why the sudden change of heart?
43
00:01:48,402 --> 00:01:50,202
Turns out there were
a few things going on
44
00:01:50,202 --> 00:01:51,802
in my mother's head these days.
45
00:01:52,402 --> 00:01:53,702
First of all, she's always
46
00:01:53,702 --> 00:01:55,902
a little more high-strung
around the holidays.
47
00:01:56,302 --> 00:01:58,302
But, this year,
she got a special jolt
48
00:01:58,302 --> 00:02:00,702
when Claire and I gave her
our Christmas lists.
49
00:02:02,106 --> 00:02:03,602
CLAIRE'S XMAS LIST:BIRTH CONTROL PILLS
50
00:02:05,925 --> 00:02:07,143
