In search of Corinthian columns

Driving around downtown on our way to mass, Number Six saw many examples of Ionic and Doric columns, as she has studied them this past week. No Corynthians anywhere around.

During Holy Mass in the cathedral, all of a sudden, she whispered "Mom, Look!"

They were immense, and right on top of us.

Ah, the rewards of teaching, and of learning.

Update: Husband was right, and I fixed it in the post's title-- but left my mistake apparent in the text. There is no Y in Corinthians. I didn't grow up with Ys and they still haunt me. The Portuguese alphabet has 23 leters. Don't give me a K in Scrabble, I panic. No Ws either.

Ana,

Too funny! Being haunted by missing letters.

Scrooge, you will be visited by three spirits...I mean three letters...
