Priceless conversation with a five-year-old tonight ... some spanish for background - la papa = 'potato', el Papa = 'the Pope' ... note the difference in gender, there is none in pronunciation of the word itself .... so she wanders over to the men's corner and overhears something, makes a comment i don't hear, gets a response i don't hear, and then at a quiet moment in both rooms asks loud and clear -

'So, what does one call a woman Pope?'

... lol ... this cracked up all present ... she hasn't really had a nickname established yet, so we suspect that she's just made herself one, 'La Papa' ... which won't much please the religious faction of her family, but hey it's a secularly humanist world

I've passed this petition around a lot, etc, thanks ..... ¡Viva la Papa!, lol ... cheers
