How we couldn't take the kids, day two

In Rome, by the Vatican, a conversation with the kids that didn't happen because they weren't here, but would have if they were:

Luke: Who is the pope?

Mommy: He lives here.

Luke: What does he look like?

Mommy: He has a pointy hat and a cape.

Wyatt: Does he have superpowers?

Mommy: He's very holy, but he's like us.

Wyatt: Does he have a cool car?

Daddy: Yes, and if anyone tries to hurt him, the car will protect him.

Luke then gasps.

Mommy: What, sweetie?

Luke: Mommy, is the pope Batman?

Daddy: Yes.

How we couldn't take the kids, day one

In Rome, a conversation with the kids that didn't happen because they weren't here, but would have if they were:

Wyatt: Daddy, I'm hungry.

Daddy: Good. We're going to a highly recommended restaurant called Perilli. They have the best carbonara in Rome, and possibly, the world.

Luke: Daddy, look, McDonald's,

Mommy: No, we're not going to McDonald's.

Luke: I want a Minions Happy Meal.

Wyatt: Do they have a Minions Happy Meal at Pernelli's?

Daddy: No, it's Perilli, and like I said, they have the best carbonara you'll ever eat.

Wyatt: But do they have a Minions Happy Meal?

Mommy: No.

Luke: But I want a Minion's Happy Meal!

Wyatt: Me too. No fair.
