Today’s questions regarding MLK

From my 5 year old, “Was Martin Luther King killed by a drunk or by a bad guy?”

No clue where that question came from. Killed by a drunk? Hunh.

From my 7 year old, the MLK expert who is also studying for his 1st Holy Communion, “Mom, do you know why Martin Luther King is not a Saint?”

I’m in Publix, I’m tired of playing 20 questions, it's 5:30 and I'm beat, and the two I have with me are perpetually touching/grabbing/hitting each other, making me nuts, so I said, “No. Why? Because he’s not Catholic?”

“No, Mom.”, he replied, “Because he DID NOT peform a miracle. He was only a good person. Not a saint.”

Well, now I can sleep tonight since this was all clarified.
