homeschoolmom Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 You know you're a convert when: an "office" is the place where you work... and nothing else... a "doctor" is the guy who delivered your babies... and nothing else... You can't help but refer to the deuterocanonical books as the "extra books" even when you know they aren't... You can't refer to Mary as anything other than Mary without forcing yourself to... (and the apostles still go without St. in front of their names...) You hear "scapular" and think shoulder blade... and then remember that's "scapula".... You always feel like everyone is watching you at mass... even though no one is... You think one of these days you should call your new pastor's wife and introduce yourself... then you remember he doesn't have one... You still feel weird about beer and cigarettes...

1337 k4th0l1x0r Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 Got a few more You sing during Mass even though you can't Someone asks you how the priests homily was and you reply you haven't tried his grits yet (only the southern Catholics may get this one) You tried a Hail Mary once, but the receiver couldn't catch the ball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PedroX Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 You still open the hymnal even though no one else sings. You get upset because the cantor only sings 2 stanzas of every hymn. You think the homily is great simply because its only 10 minutes long! You poke your eye trying to do the triple cross before the reading of the gospel. You can quote the daily readings. peace...

cmotherofpirl Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 THE LIST SO FAR: an "office" is the place where you work... and nothing else... a "doctor" is the guy who delivered your babies... and nothing else... You can't help but refer to the deuterocanonical books as the "extra books" even when you know they aren't... You can't refer to Mary as anything other than Mary without forcing yourself to...
