Penni, dear, the reason you remember not having anything is that you are a little older than I. I too remember that it seemed normal to look around a church and see children with their heads between their knees. It was Pius XII who got tired of all these little kids keeling over. I suspect he had a glass of milk or orange juice in mind. Nonetheless, my mother assumed that fluids are fluids and acted accordingly, a particularly wise move when my sister and I were attending Mass every morning. If I'm "full of mortal sin," those eggnogs aren't the problem!!!!! LOL!!!!!!!!! I remember my first confession too. I was quite nervous that I might do it "wrong" somehow. I must have been quite fortunate though. The definition of mortal sin made quite an impression on me and I recognized early on that the transgressions of childhood did not qualify.

My favorite confession joke. A young Irish lad goes into the confessional for his weekly cleansing. "Bless me Father for I have sinned. I have had sexual relations with a young lady." Father: "Who was she, young man?" Kid: "I can't say, Father. I promised I'd keep it a secret" Father: "Was it Margaret O'Malley?" Kid: "No, Father." Father: "Was it Katie McDonald?" Kid: "No, Father." Father: "Was it Sally Smith?" Kid: "No, Father." Father: "Well, who was it then?" Kid: "I can't tell you Father. I promised." Father: "Well, young man. I must commend your protecting the honor of the young lady. Integrity is a virtue. But for penance I want you to say 5 Our Fathers and 5 Hail Mary's." Then the priest absolved the young man and he left the confessional. He went back to his pew to sit next to his friend John. John: "So. Did you tell him about you-know-what?" Kid: "Yes. It wasn't so bad." John: "Well, what did he give you?" Kid: "5 Our Fathers, 5 Hail Mary's and three good leads."
