If the pope comes to your house, where does he sleep?
So La and I were changing the sheets on our bed and I asked, "If, say, the pope came to our house for a few days and hung out, and we drank beer and played jenga and fluxx and watched movies and ate pizza, where would he sleep?" We don't have a guest bedroom and I was wondering. We've got our bed and we've got a really nice inflatable bed that the in-laws use when they come to town. Would the pope use our bed or would he sleep on the inflatable bed in the basement? What's the etiquette for something like that, when someone super famous comes to visit for a few days? La said she'd make the pope sleep on the inflatable downstairs. She gives up her bed for no one. I guess I'd offer our bed but wouldn't expect him to take it and then I'd insist and still not expect him to take it. I mean really the remotest, tiniest possibility that the pope might visit my house is the only reason I keep it clean. I'm not even a believer. In my mind the pope is more some almighty arbiter of cleanliness than some god's man on earth. Really maybe that's all he is. Has a pope ever actually spent the night at some Joe Shmoe's place?
