They did!!!..They were good Catholic Parents whose decisions on your behalf you do not seem to appreciate. I hope your immersion in a pool in Viet Nam was pleasant because that's all that it was..
They were lousy catholics. They enjoyed sinning, and that is what they taught me, to enjoy sinning. All they said, was to go to confession on Saturday, to get rid of all the terrible things I did during the week. They were only good catholics one hour a week, then we were off to the races. We were catholics, that's what we did.
Yes, my immersion in the swimming pool at Bien Hoa Air Base, Republic of Vietnam was a pleasant one. It was hot in Vietnam, so I enjoyed the dip. Thank God, it erased the baptism my parents did to me when I was a baby, even if I did not want it. When I was three weeks old, I jumped up and told my momma, don't ever do that to me again. She obeyed my orders.

Praise God for the Navs.
