Ramona on Screwtape, Senior Tempter

Yesterday when I was reading The Screwtape Letters with Anne and Betsy, Ramona (whom I did not think was paying that much attention) said, "Wait a minute! Why did he say that going to church is a danger? I don't get this book. It's just not making any sense."

I said, "Oh, honey! Don't listen to Screwtape! He's a devil -- everything he says will be backward and twisted. He lies!"

"Aaaaahhhh," she said, the light dawning. "Now that makes sense."

Then she added, "Devils remind me of weeds. They suck the life out of all the pretty things!"
