The Liturgical Edition
“Finish your breakfast and get dressed!” I told the kids. “We’re going to Mass for the feast of St. Blaise.” I explained that the priest would give a special blessing today by crossing two candles and holding them up to our throat.
Felicity’s eyebrows drew together in concern. “Are the candles…lit?” she wondered.
While at Mass, I was discreetly nursing George during the homily. Angela leaned over and whispered, “If you had three ba-ba’s, you could nurse three babies at one time.”
“Mm-hmm,” I murmured, and she leaned in close again.
“Like a pig,” she added.
Roaring with laughter, and the coffee shot out of my nose. She's so descriptive!
Thanks Margaret for the laugh…hilarious.
Thankful I was not drinking anything!
That made me laugh so hard! I love your blog. It makes me feel normal in what seems like a chaotic world. Thanks. God bless.
*LOL* Too cute, although I know how it probably made you feel. I often hear comments in regards to a cow over here, although I'm not sure I like that reference anymore than I would a pig….
Thanks for the laugh this morning!
Ooooh, sooooooooo funny! Thank God for these children who make us keep our sense of humor! Love it!
oh my gosh!! Laughing so hard here, I snorted!!
God bless that girl –
and thank you for sharing her!!
Oink, oink.
HAHAHAHAHA! I bet your husband wouldn't mind either 😉
SNORT! Now that is funny, I don't care who you are!!!
Love the Angela comment – too funny. Thanks for also mentioning that you nurse your toddler in Church (discreetly, obviously). I haven't been able to get up the courage with my daughter, who's now 20 months old, especially because she can't stand nursing with anything over her head, but I'm planning to do it from day one with the next baby. I wish there were a few more moms like you at our parish, because I'd have been more likely to buck up and try it if there were a few other moms in the pews setting a good example! It's not easy when you're just learning to nurse anyway, and you feel like you'll be ostracized if you need to feed them during Mass. Our church doesn't have a privacy or cry room, so I've ended up spending a lot of time in the confessional, which is out a door and down the hall – can't hear Mass from in there, and they don't heat that part of the building, at all, in the winter.
HA!!! outta the mouths of babes eh! (snicker)
My favorite is when my son, watching Father incense the altar during the preparation of the gifts, leaned over and said, in a very LOUD whisper, "Now he's gonna smoke the food." LOL
Paula had the best description of how I laughed!
We just love your Angela
hahahah!!!! That was great!!
Our parish does the ST Blaise blessings this next weekend. Can't wait, everyone is sick except me. Maybe it will help!
LOVE!
yes. just like a pig. Exactly.
And three, of course.
Thank you , God, for these children!
And for the inability to keep one's shoulder's from shaking when one is trying not to laugh in church.
BWAAAAHAAAHAAA!!
And then you could lay down while you nurse, and maybe get a little nap in!
It is sooo good that you blog and have a record of Angela … you are going to have a blast telling/reminding her of these confidences when she's a little older!!
Oh, the things that girl does say. Tell us, does she take after anyone in particular in the family?
I read the post quickly laughed at the ending and then looked back to make sure it was Angela. She is so funny!!
*snort*
That was a hoot!
Thanks for making my morning (as I am plastered to the couch nursing a 22 month old with a cough and stuffy nose)!
I bet your daughter is going to grow up to be one those people who say outrageous things to see how others take it. She'll be the life of the party!
One of my son's asked the same question about the candles when he was younger, but not with fear – with excitement in his eyes. When I told him that the candles were not lit, he was very disappointed and said, "Grown ups are so wimpy."
Tee Hee!!!! Loved the pig comment and the question about the candles. A few of my Kindergartners asked me the same question yesterday, to which I responded, "Of course not, Father wants to bless you , not set you on fire!!" LOL 😡
Out of the mouths of babes!! Very sweet.
