At the Memorial Supper, I took along my little daughter, nearly 6. She's not familiar with Kingdom Halls and what's going on there. To make her comfortable, I let her bring a favourite "teddy bear", actuallay a cow.
She found it very peculiar that the bread and wine was passed from hand to hand without anyone eating or drinking. She asked a lot and I tried to explain.
- What are they going to pass around now?, she asked.
- Nothing, I replied.
- Nothing? Really?
- No, nothing.
- How about passing around this cow?, she suggested, referring to her teddy.
At least three of us hearing her broke into laughter when we were supposed to be very quit.
