I like to think of myself as a relatively mature person.
However, I still have the occasional lapse in judgment now and again.
This morning, I visited a new church in a neighboring town.
I got there a little late (thanks to Weezer trying to send me the wrong way down a one-way street) and sat in the very back pew all by my lonesome.
When communion rolled around, I was rather grateful for Weezer's foul-up.
The tiny, compact cube that was passed to me was unlike anything I'm used to having. Now, normally I could have just looked at it, maybe raised an eyebrow and popped the sucker in my mouth.
Not today.
For some reason, I was so fascinated with it that I started pressing on it, just to see what would happen.
As it exploded between my fingers, several chunks flew up into the air and then came back down on my sweater, my khakis, the pew in front of me and into my purse.
The 5-year old in me knows how to break bread like a champ.
The adult in me thinks I'm a giant twit.

That is great.
Isn't it the *best* totally making a fool of yourself in a room full of people you don't know, in a solemn and reverent setting?
Wayy less awkward than doing it in a place where no one will notice.
At least it was something you could easily brush off (literally).
hahahahahaha

Cute! That sounds like something I would do, definitely!
So I'm assuming you'll be looking for a new church? :)
Oh wow, funny.

That made me laugh, because it's totally something I would do!
Thanks for making time to stop by my site. Let me know if you come up with one of those reframing moments, because I really would love to hear the story. :-)
HAHA! I would have burst out laughing.
This is one of those situations where I would have laughed out loud and then immediately felt bad because I know what kind of sad puppy face you would've made when the bread flakes got all over your sweater.
ah hahaha! This is GREAT! I'll never forget the first time I went to a Catholic wedding (not Catholic) ... save that for later. I too get distracted by weird communion elements... like the time someone in our church bought garlic Matzah instead of plain... mmmm, so good with grape juice. LOL
