"What are those?" I asked Maria, pointing to a set of rosary beads she's been given.

"It's a necklace."

"Do you know what it's for?"

"Yeah you hold this and say something to the guy - the guy, not the girl, the other guy. Ummm, who's that guy?

"The Pope? Il Papa? Jesus? Father Gerry?"

"No. No. No. That guy who you do praying."

"God?"

"Yeah. That guy!"
