I Almost Burned Down The Church...

It was my very first lesson of my very first day as a teacher.  I picked up a dry erase marker and wrote the word "cat"  on the whiteboard. And then I realized that what I was actually holding in my hand was a sharpie, and the word "cat" was now emblazoned on the whiteboard in permanent ink.

 

lucky me I was being observed (mmmmahhhhhhhhh!!!) and they knew how to get it off.

 

these fails happen.

One of the older ladies at the Vigil last night was watching Father and the altar servers light the Paschal candle and muttered, "Oh, smart! Let's set the cassocks on fire!" 

 

:doh: How do you THINK we'll light the candle? It doesn't ignite by itself!

When I was student teaching, I wrote the entire day's schedule in sharpie. Honestly, I think my master teacher switched the markers on purpose.

The priest and the (ancient, definitely at least 65, probably closer to 70) altar server were having a terrible time getting the Paschal Candle to stay in it's holder. I was worried it would fall out and snap on the ground the entire Mass.

Probably less than a minute after getting our candles lit last night, I saw a man holding the flame about >< that close to the missal. I couldn't tell if he even noticed he was doing so or not. I was waiting for it to go up in flames, but I think his wife nudged him just in time.

Someone spilled their candle wax all over my missal when they blew the candle out. :P I only need that particular page once a year, but still.

And now you'll remember to pray for that person EVERY YEAR! Pretty clever of them! :P

I am not sure who it was. :P I did not look over in case they realized and were embarrassed.

Very charitable of you.

That was nice of you. I think God could probably figure it out if you were to say "that person who splashed this wax on my missal." ;)

Years ago, I was bowing during prayer with a candle in my hand and I burned my bangs.  Burnt hair smells atrocious. :x
