I told my priest and he said just don't convert.

I just told this to my daughter who was obsessing over a situation;

2 monks walking beside a muddy road come upon a young girl wearing a beautiful white dress trying to figure out how to cross the road. One of the monks picks the girl up and carries her across the muddy road. The 2 monks continue 3 miles on their journey when one of the monks stops and says to the other monk, you know we monks aren't supposed to do that. The other monk replied, I put that girl down 3 miles ago, you are still carrying her.
