This reminds me of the time my niece was 2 years old, and in a resteraunt she started standing on the booth seat, instead of sitting.

So my brother in law (her dad) asked her to sit. And she didn't want to sit. So my BIL said "Look at everybody. Mommy's sitting. Daddy's sitting. Uncle is sitting. Nana is sitting. Everybody is sitting, and we'd like you to sit too! Can't eat food like that if you're standing!"

And then she sat down.

That was 10 years ago, and it stood out because if that were me at age 2, my dad would have just yelled and me, picked me up, and dropped me hard on my ass until I stopped getting up.

It was one of those "so THIS is what good parenting looks like...." moments.

This is actually really wholesome

I wonder if their interest was in all popes or just a specific one

[The Pope] does not bite people.

John XII and Benedict IX did a whole lot of unpapal things; if you told me they bit some people I'd believe you.

Some people only understand things spoken in their own language.

Boys need good, male role models.

Here's a fan edit

Respect for the kid. The new pope is kind of cool.

But still, the Pope often takes fetuses from pregnant women and bite them over the spine with his teeth. He then cracks the fetuses open and suck the spinal fluid out of the spine.

Well, it wouldn't have if the Pope of the time was Reginald the Bitey!
