Teen Convent GK: One day you have this dear little sweet little daughter who
is thrilled to see you. SS (GIRL): Daddy! Daddy's home! Oh Daddy Daddy Daddy. I missed
you, Daddy. I love you, Daddy. GK: And then what seems like about three weeks later, there is
this tall disdainful teenage person looking at you with solemn anger.
What's wrong, honey? SS (TEEN): You don't understand anything, you know that? GK: Would you do me a favor and put on a sweater? SS (TEEN): Sweaters are like, so over. GK: But you're dressed like a streetwalker! And you're smoking--- SS (TEEN): (EXHALE) I did not ask to be born into this creepy
family! GK: WHATEVER HAPPENED TO MY LITTLE GIRL? TR: What happened to your little girl? Lots of things. You let
her hang out with bad kids and watch MTV. GK: But how can I keep a kid from watching television? (GREGORIAN HUMMING, WITH ORGAN CHORD) SS (OLDER): Here at the Convent of the Sisters of St. Vicky, we
bring up young women in a wholesome atmosphere that stresses work and
prayer, solitude, study, reverence, silence, prayer, attention to duty,
silence, and prayer. We take girls between 8 and 10 and we raise them
for you until they're 30 and ready to go out into the world. And you get
to visit them every Saturday. SS (CHEERY TEEN): Daddy! Daddy's here! Oh Daddy Daddy Daddy. I
missed you, Daddy. I love you, Daddy. GK: The Convent of the Sisters of St. Vicky. In partnership with
the Monastery of St. Kevin. TK (TEEN): Hi Dad. Boy, what a great week. The devotional periods
were really great. I read that stuff by Augustine. Wow, what a guy. And
look at this manuscript --- I did all the lettering by hand. GK: As parents, we're always looking for new options. A cloistered
adolescence for your child is just one. Call now ---- one--- eight-hundred
