At our house, we don’t eat meat on Friday.
The Extraordinary Mother-in-Law presented the kids with many books (she’s a schoolteacher, this is in character for her), including for the Extraordinary Boy (soon to be 7, but reading at the third-grade level) a book of fish-riddles. Among the fish jokes, this classic: “What a is fish’s least favorite day?” The answer of course is “Fry-day”.
Not realizing that “frying” is a way to cook fish, my son thought this was funny because, as he said, “Friday is the day when we eat fish.” I’m so proud.

Hey, we have a seven year old with a third grade reading level, too! Ours is a girl, though.
Do you homeschool?And we abstain on Fridays.
Heather,of course we homeschool.
We started going meatless on Fridays about 6 months ago. Coinciding with about the time we started our First Friday Novena by going to the TLM at our local Franciscan Hermitage on First Friday evenings.
