At the early age of 7 I had my first confrontation with my very religious Grandmother. We were enjoying the infrequent quarterly observance of Communion, as the Pastor read the passages from the Gospels regarding the Lord's Supper. Oddly enough, I observed the congregation around me behaving in a less reverential manner than that which I was raised to adhere myself to. They seemed almost bored, or annoyed that the service was taking longer than the traditional length of 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes, and were most impatient to leave. Afterwards, I asked my Grandmother why people had behaved that way. Being the protective yet wonderful woman that she was that recognized my early intelligence she gave it to me straight.

All that at age 7, huh?????? It's clear that Matt is making this all up. Make sure he gets to the Confessional before next Sunday --- a dozen Hail Mary's or a rosary or two should atone for his obvious prefabrication here.

Oh? Isn’t that a bit presumptuous on your part?

"my early intelligence"

Matt must have been exceptional! I hardly remember what was going on in church when I was 7, but I do remember watching Lawrence Welk on Saturday night while my mom pinned my hair up in preparation for Sunday.

Ouch! Too early (if ever) in the morning to read such an uncharitable statement.
