First Communion

"First Communion"*

*To prepare for my daughter's First Communion,
I called he church in the town where we used
to live to get a copy of her baptismal certificate.

We lived there for only a short while, so I didn't
know the clergy well. When the secretary asked
me the name of the father, I told her that I
couldn't remember.

After a brief silence, she said, "Ma'am, I'm talking
about the name of the baby's father."

"Watching TV"*

*I sat with my infant son in front of the TV, hostage to
my husband's channel-surfing. He eventually settled
on an R-rated movie in which the actress was soon topless.

"Honey, change the channel," I said, shielding my son's
eyes. "He shouldn't see this."

"It's okay." my husband replied. "He probably thinks it's
the Food Network."
