So, my family is Catholic, I only tell you this because it is relevant to the story.

His grandmother went on espousing the joys of joining the church and my aunt started crying. While this show was going on the 20 some other guests ate in silence…I hope there is no rule about copying and pasting a whole paragraph from the NY Times, but there isn't a good way to link to it. Read all of the entries article here.

I hope yours was much happier!
When I was a kid, I spent a TG at the house of an in-law of my father's. She detested him and refused to acknowledge me as I was his offspring. She wouldn't even say my name, referring to me as "that other one." I still laugh about it.
That would be a good screen name, "ThatOtherOne"
