there were plenty of times that I didn't want to go to church. But I went! I didn't steal a car and make a get-away! Anybody else get out of church with a "creative" excuse or disappearing act?

My father never went to church, but my mother did, and she always made us go. So I'd whine every week, "But MOOOOoooOOOOmmmah, Dad doesn't like church! Do you REALLY think we should be doing this???" It never worked, but at that age, I figured anything was worth a shot!

Ouch!!!!

My sister, brother and I were well spaced apart by my parents and two aunts so we couldn't tickle, pinch or slap each other all the way through the mass, we HAD to sit still.....but then there was the handshake time!!!

"Peace be with you"

My brother would always tickle our palms during that! He's 4 years older, so I was always dumb enough to fall for it.

In Denmark, you give the other person a certain message if you tickle their palm when giving a handshake.

My mom finally learned that I would sit still if I had something to read. So, the rule was, I went to church and I was quiet and well behaved...Bible open in my lap and me reading avidly throughout the sermon. Of course, what I was reading was whatever I'd snuck into my bible...mostly horse stories and some romance novels...a paperback series she bought me on horse training when I was 14, the occasional mystery or ghost story.

I was the only one in my family who went to church, so I always sat with friends. We used to play 'hangman' and draw to pass the time if the sermon was boring. To us pre-teens, if often was. But the fellowship was the important part.

For a few years of my childhood, I had to live in a children's home. (No...I wasn't a bad kid.) I had the opposite problem. The housemothers were always trying to think up reasons why I could not go to church.

I didn't understand it at the time, but I think I know why now. I've been able to piece together some of the details. The home was afraid they might lose the kids to the outside world. Job security was the issue. What a pity.

Which in the end, wasn't so bad.......their disapproval made me want to go more. It wasn't that particular church the staff objected to. Any church was bad in their book.

When I was in high school, I used to leave for church, go to the park, read for an hour and then go home. One day my mother finally asked me about Msgr. O'Donnell's homily. I tried lying. The only problem was she knew Msgr. O'Donnell wasn't at that mass.
