Lisa took Amelie to see the local Catholic priest this afternoon. I'm not sure if her intention was confession or exorcism, but either way the man had his work cut out. Apparently when Lisa was heading out of the door, she said to Amelie "Come on, little one". To which Amelie replied "Come on, big one". It's cheek like that which needs to be beaten out of her with religion.

Obviously I can't reveal the priest's identity here, in case Lisa's subtle befriending techniques fail, and she ends up having to blackmail him to get Amelie into the school around the corner, but having been told his name this morning, Amelie's spent the day calling him Farmer Cosy. She hasn't liked anyone so much since she met Chris and Donald.

I asked her about the meeting this evening and she informed me that not only is Farmer Cosy "nice", but he told her a story too. I was expecting the Nativity, the Good Samaritan or the one about Jonah & the Whale, but apparently not. She got the parable of the Three Little Pigs. I expect it was the the holy spirit that brought down those houses, not the Big Bad Wolf.
