Pert, I'll bet you were the kid in Sunday school who always mispronounced "Zacchaeus" when y'all sang that song.

Don't remember but if I did it was probably on purpose. I was raised in church from age 6 to 16 when I ran away from home.

My dad was the preacher.
If I misbehaved, he'd stop his sermon, and call me down to the front pew.

My mom ran away with the preacher when I was 10. Kinda soured me on the whole thing for a long time.

Not much of a preacher. I'm sorry that happened to you.

I was pretty precocious as kid I was told. Guess Ma was giving me a stink eye
from the choir.
Maybe that is why Ma sent to my Grandma for 8 years

The "in-between" kids (too big for nursery and too young / wiggly to behave on their own in church) all sat together in the choir loft at the back of the church with one of the older ladies. We called her "gramma (last name)" and she kept us in line during services.

Kinda funny, even when we WERE old enough to manage on our own, most of us still sat with her and helped her wrangle the kids.

I was not impressed with church, but my mother made me go.

The good Ole days. It kept your feet warm, but stayed slightly damp, especially around the bowl.

Was that from condensation on the porcelain,,, if from bad aim
