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.

    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.
