Good morning, readers! Hope you enjoy this story from my youth! Thank you for being a subscriber here at PartTimeFunnyMan.com/CoreyWritesForYou.com! Because of your subscriptions, I will not only be able to put out more “content” (I hate that word) but I will also be able to live my NEW dream of being a stay at home dad come April! Part Time Funny Man/Full Time Dad has a nice ring to it, don’t ya think!
We were in a fairly conservative parish in Iowa years ago. Because it was a large church, the Bishop would assign newly ordained priests to “learn the ropes” from the pastor. (We called them boy priests)
One year during Mother’s Day mass, the boy priest asked all the mothers to stand and began a lovely prayer and blessing. It ended with him saying, “and we pray that God will make them better lovers, er, mothers!” Most tried to pretend we didn’t hear it, but I definitely heard the older couple sitting behind us snort-laugh. Then all of us nearby got the giggles. It was a great blessing!
that was funny.. reminds me of the time our cat brought a mouse into the house.. I corralled it into the closet.. and was attempting to grab it with a towel. I didn't want to hurt the mouse and kept scooping up air.. my ex started yelling.. "squeeze it harder".... know I can't help but crack up thinking about that.. we rented a place that was like a motel. so I know our neighbors heard him..

That is SUCH a church story! I can put myself right there in the congregation as a kid wondering why everyone was trying so hard not to laugh...
HAHAHAHA. That was great.
