Why I don't go to church (much)



Shit
late to kid's 1st communion mtg
(discretely) remove dripping raincoat in the empy front row 
why stand in the back and not sit up front
will never understand people

kind Sr. Pat flushed shiny joyfully 
gives her speil 
asks 200 parents who here is "holy"? 

I most minisculely tilt my head squinting  ? trick question
ponder 0.7 seconds, raise my hand she grins even wider, nods at me  

Shit again 
I turn 
of course, no other hands up
I say they all are, Sr. they just forgot

(note to kid: don't ever forget something THAT important)
