Very Popular POPE Francis Gives School Boys Ride Of Their Lives

A particularly jovial Francis hoped off his white, open air-car Wednesday
 to greet a group of fifth graders from Perugia who presented him with a -shirt 
from their school. Seemingly joking, Francis asked if any of them wanted to take a
 spin through the square.

'Me!, 'Me!, Me! they yelled.

Franscis picked11-year-olds- Livio Bastianelli and Davide Maria Bianchi and
 the two hopped aboard.

Bastinelli told The Associates Pries it was a ride of a lifetime.'I was really excited.
That never happens'

Francis sense of humor was also on display later, as he joked that a monsignor, forced to cut short a reading because of a nagging cough. was 'getting old'
