Hi, my name is Father Mike Schmitz and this is Ascension Presents.

So I was over Memorial Day weekend hanging out with my family and one of my nephews, he

pretended he was a dog.

And you know, I've ever did it with a kid little kid when they're like, I'm a puppy.

And like, okay, you have the ball and you throw the ball and they come back with it and

you're playing around.

At one point it was time for supper and so I was like, okay buddy, you know time to get

up, wash your hands, get ready for supper.

He's like, no, no, no, I'm a puppy, I'm a puppy.

And you know, I'm the fun uncle.

That's what pre-starred fun uncle.

So I'm like, I'm not going to correct this kid.

I just kind of directed him to his parents and his parents were like, listen, you're a little

boy, you're not a dog, wash your hands and sit at the table.

And I thought, all right, that's good.

That's good parenting right there.

Where, you know, here's the kid.

He maybe he really thinks he's a dog, but the reality is you're not a dog.

And I was thinking about this and thinking about that love that my nephews, parents have

for them when it comes to this big thing on the news, of course, which is Bruce Jenner.

Or anyone else who experiences this sense of being transgender, the idea that this, I

have a Bruce Jenner's case, I have a man's body, but I'm not really a man.
