Here's another story from the woman I'm proud to call my grandmother:
"When I was in high school the Catholic kids were
able to miss school because they attended Mass. I decided that when the
Catholic kids left for Mass I was able to also miss school and would go
downtown for the day. I pulled this off for a few weeks before the
Principal called me into the office. When he asked me why I was
missing class, being the quick thinker I was, I told him I was thinking of
changing my religion to Catholic and was attending church to learn more about
it. Immediately he phoned my mother to ask her if this had been a
discussion at home. Since my family was three times a week Protestant
church goers the jig was up.
Lots of detention time and no more Catholic holidays for
me."
