The lady next door stood with a broom at the edge of the walk to make sure the kids didn't go on her lawn. Of course, when she wasn't around, I made a point of stepping on it. When I made my first confession at age 7, I confessed to stepping on Mrs. Cullian's lawn.......500 times.
I bet the priest had to smile - just before presenting you with umpteen Hail Mary's for Penance. ;-)
