Frances will receive her First Communion on Sunday. She has the white dress. One of her godmothers is bringing a veil. She has her white shoes. She knows what to do. What Frances is worried about is the wine. Her teacher told her to try it at home. She did and it parched her throat, she said. I told her she could fake it. That did not sit well with her. I am beginning to think preparation is not always the best strategy. Sometimes it is better just to leap first without knowing what it will taste like.
