Essie: At school today they were talking about Baptism. Am I Baptised?

Sophie: Er, um, your Dad's baptised Catholic.

Essie: Yeah but what about me?

Sophie: Well Essie, um, no you aren't baptised.

Essie: Can you baptise me then Dad?

Essie imagines the kitchen sink might be just the place.

Tom: No, I can't baptise you. We will need to talk about that a little further and we will probably need to contact the church.

Sophie: Isn't it too late? I thought only babies could be baptised?

Tom: I don't know. How about I call the Catholic Church up the road tomorrow?
