Me: Are you doing those things on that list–are you praying every morning?
Mago: Yes.
Me: I may have told you this before, but you know, when you were very young, you were very sweet and kind — and my influence has wrecked a lot of that. My arguing, my fighting with Mom, our fighting–it’s had a very negative effect on you. So every morning when you pray, you need to pray for a gentle, kind, thoughtful spirit.
Mago (sincerely): Okay. But look at this one.
