For two hours we drove on a Sunday afternoon through small town underneath a canopy of pines and oaks
Once we got into town, the magnet of Ellianos drew us inside the cafe for cookies and iced coffee
As we took our seat, six teens came in and ordered $5.00 lattes.
The boys had that all American look and dressed like they stepped out of a catalogue.
The girls, they were the ones that stuck out almost like a sore thumb
Midi skirts with leggings in the hot Georgia sun along with shirt collars up to their neck
Hair pulled up in a ponytail with a little poof on top
If you looked only at their Nikes and Addidas sneakers they would look normal
Everyone in the county knows their religion by how the women dress
I've mocked their kind before, but not today
That day with my daughter beside me, I only saw a couple of beautiful modest young ladies comfortable in their own skin
I'd love for my daughter to be the Catholic version of this
