Then I saw a newspaper ad for a program called Keeping Youth Drug-Free. Grandparents are cool. That's it, of course. The pope isn't just the Holy Father to these kids. He's their Holy Grandfather.
Every kid needs one.
My own grandfather wasn't a holy man, but he was holy to me. He always played with me and made me laugh. The pope did the same with an arena-full of teens last week. The pope winked at them on video screens. They gave him a hockey stick.
