"You don't have a soul, so you can't be baptized. All animals are like that. I think it's unfair and sometimes I don't believe it," the narrator questions the idea that only humans have souls and can be baptized. They express a sense of unfairness about animals being excluded from spiritual considerations, wondering what heaven would be like without creatures like birds, dogs, and horses, or even trees and flowers.

"Does that mean heaven looks like a cement parking lot? I suppose this is what the nuns call a theological problem," the narrator concludes, highlighting the complex and perplexing nature of this religious doctrine. This thought reflects their struggle to reconcile the idea of a loving, inclusive heaven with the exclusion of animals due to the absence of souls, as taught by the church.
