re: #188 wrenchwench

After my confirmation, we went to dinner with two other families. The parents started talking about things like, “The bishop said we are to emulate Jesus, as he sat up there with his golden staff and fancy shoes—who does he think he is?” and it was all down hill from there…

I don’t even remember where we went after my Confirmation, or much about it at all. For that matter, there are only two things I remember from my First Communion — 1) having to settle for the girlie white and pink Bible study set I was given by my childhood parish instead of the much cooler looking black and gold set that the boys got, and 2) running out of the church as soon as the Mass was over and over to the playground to get on the monkey bars while still in my dress and veil. Plus, it had rained that morning, so there was mud everywhere. That photo is probably my favorite picture of me as a kid. Heh.
