DiscerningCatholic Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4PahAk0EmQ Saw this and couldn't help but post it here with the question...do any of you have any funny/cute Catholic-related stories about yourselves as kids or about your kids? My first word was "alleluia" and my second word was "Benedict." (We read a lot of saint stories when I was little.) The first one came out "ah-yay-yooah" and Benedict was "Beh-neh-neh" for a while.

PhuturePriest Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 When I was a kid I didn't want to do school very often, and the way my sister motivated me was by telling me "Pope John Paul II wants you to." That's probably why I pray to him to this day for motivation to do school. No one knows what my first words were, because I was the third child, and after the first two kids no one cares about documenting or photographing anything any bonus children do.

maximillion Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 I was the one put the tea towels, pillowcases, or any old square or rectangle of fabric on my head and over my ears. For ages, they all ( mum, dad, brother and sister ) I was playing at weddings. Oh no! Not that. I apparently cried my eyes out when this was suggested. "Then what are you doing?" asked my mum. "I'm being Mary!" :saint2: :hehe2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Credo in Deum Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 One day my brothers and I didn't want to go to school. We had this rare moment when we all decided on the same thing. So, we went to our grandmother and asked her if we could stay home. She looked at us and said "if you want to stay home, you need to pray and ask God to let you stay home". That very moment my brothers and I got on our knees and we said some Hail Marys asking God to make it so we could stay home. Well God answered and we had a huge windstorm come in which canceled school, killed the power, and had a tree come down which completely demolish my grandmothers deck. I think she would have been more upset about her deck, if she wasn't so amazed about what happened after we had prayed. :hehe2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIKolbe Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Addi prays Compline with me. The are many 'Glory Be's' in compline, and she gets a little confused and does the sign of the cross each time we pray a Glory Be. It's totes adorbs... for srs. She also reminds me if I go upstairs to crash as Mom tucked her in already. She will hear me walking past her room and she'll say "Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad... we gotta pray the 'into you hand, I 'mend my spirit' prayer"... She's wicked legit.

Perigrina Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Our children had apparently picked up the idea that any misbehaviour was even worse if done in church. Once, one sibling told on another, "He wasn't wearing his seat belt ... in church!" That must have been over twenty years ago and we still have a family joke about needing to wear seat belts in church. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImageTrinity Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 We go to Mass at a military chapel, so they cover the statues and crucifix with curtains so it can be used by other denominations. My 2.5 year likes to stick around so he can say night-night to "Shee-shush and Shee-shush mama" when they "go to bed" after Mass. :hehe2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
