Children's Liturgy

Isaac attended the Children's Liturgy during Mass one Sunday.  They were being taught the Gospel reading about Jesus overturning the money changers' tables and driving them away from the Temple with a whip made out of cord, for turning his Father's house into a marketplace. However, as it was his first time at the Children's Liturgy, Isaac was a little shy and clingy to me, reluctant to join in the activities with the other children. It was also quite noisy with some children and even parents chatting away and not paying any attention to what was actually being taught. 

The following Thursday, while we were showering him, Isaac suddenly said, "Jesus was angry at the Temple because they were making his dad's home into a marketplace. You must respect the Temple, right, we must respect his dad's home."
