Today as Charles, Jack, and Theo were walking out of church, one of Charles's colleagues tried to start something by asking Jack, "How does it feel to have already had your highest moment as a Royals fan? To know that everything is downhill after the World Series?"
This prompted Theo to reflect on his 2014 World Series experience. Shortly afterwards, he asked Charles, "Dad, do you know that my saddest day as a Royals fan was when they lost the World Series? I cried."
"Yes, Theo. I do remember that," Charles replied.
But then Theo threw a bit of a curve ball.
"Do you know that was my second saddest day ever?" he asked.
"No," Charles said. "I didn't know that. What was your saddest day?"
"It's everyone's saddest day," Theo said, in an almost reproachful tone, as if the answer was obvious.
Charles was still pretty clueless. "So what day is that, Theo?"
"When Jesus had to die for our sins," came the matter-of-fact answer.
A precious memory. So true Theo. So true.
