Mortified Monday....School Dayz
Sooo another mortifying moment in the life of Tressa....
For this moment we have to go back to Jr. year in HS.... Oh yes... I was the new girl... a Texas transplant sent to a Catholic H.S in Delaware.... mom & dad thought that it would be a good idea.. never mind we weren't Catholic...
Things were fine... You could barely pick me out of the crowd as being the "NON-Catholic" until our first assembly of the year...
I can't remember what is was for.. it was probably a pep rally/Mass... who knows...
What I do remember was that they were giving communion.... "Holy ¤&%/" Each student had to walk up on stage & take communion, in front of the entire school....
Luckily my best friend,
Song for Whoever (the CATHOLIC) was sitting beside... with beads of sweat running down my forehead, I asked her what i was supposed to do.... (I figured if I faked it & took communion I would probably end up going to hell....) Kelly calmed me down & told me to walk up there... tell the Priest I wasn't Catholic & ask for a blessing.....

OK.. I could do this... I could walk across the stage, in front of the entire school and ask for a blessing... I could do it....
So when my time comes, I walked up to the priest (did I mention he was wearing a mic?) I had myself sooo worked up, afraid of saying the wrong thing... I BLURT out...almost in tears
"FORGIVE ME FATHER, I'm not Catholic, may I have a blessing anyway?"
The priest started laughing... the nuns passing out the crackers & grape juice started laughing
at ME... (did I mention this was in front of the entire school?)
Anyone wanna share?

Is that like when my husband let me walk around the entire rest area with streamers of toilet paper sticking out the back of my pants?
I was a non Catholic at an all girls Catholic High School... I never took communion... I just stayed in my seat...
I shared last week!
Love the picture though...please tell me you didn't do what she's doing in the picture!!!
Well, I did go to a job interview once and the elastic on my knickers broke so I had to spend the entire time holding up my underpants with one hand and trying to act normally...
Now, whenever I bring my husband to a family function at the c. church, I have to keep explaining to him when we sit, stand, kneel etc.. He thinks it is nuts and is always the last one done and grumbling... :) Great story!
So, I am a singer....and in High School I was in 3 different singing groups. Well, the elite of the elite of us went to a competition. We sang acapella (means to sing without music or any other accompaniment). We were doing great, we were on a roll. Then, right before the next stanza, we all had to take a good breath because it was a looong stanza. So what do I do? Little ol me? yeah....I FARTED. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh yeah. Now HOW embarrassing is that! The only good thing is that we all stayed composed with just a few giant eye balls and grins but noone missed a note :-)
Love, love , love it!
