[AnAmericanMother]

Amusing story about my first Confession . . .

I collared the Rector after Mass and asked, should I make an appointment? He said, "You can just come at the usual time." I said, "You know this is going to be the Mother of All Confessions because I'm 45 years in arrears . . . " He winked and said in that inimitable Irish accent, "Ah, there won't be a problem. There aren't very many sinners in this parish."

I guarded that list with my life. I didn't want to be like the little old lady who got into the confessional and read her list: "Bread, milk, green beans . .. " and exclaimed, "Oh my God! I left my sins in the A&P!"

LOL! I usually have a list, and I count the major items on my fingers, but by the time I get to the last finger, I've always forgotten something.

ROFLOL! I just got this picture in my mind of you going back to the A&P, walking up to the cashier and asking, "Excuse me, but did I leave my sins in here?"
