I remember etting sent to the principal for raising my hand to go to the restroom at a time the nun didn't want me to - or the time I got my knuckles rapped (don't even remember why) but the most traumatic was finding out that they ate "human food" like Cheerios. Oh my gosh.<BR/>In the 2nd grade I was to carry a bouquet of flowers up to the Bishop who was visiting Immaculate Conception Church in Chicago. He was supposed to be up at the front and for some reason I couldn't find him so I turned around in the aisle and walked back out of the church - much to the horrification of the nuns, my parents and everyone else. It was the beginning of my "independent stage" Ha....Babshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16609157345912932083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7985623786044384912.post-72057182690647584062009-03-16T21:27:00.000-06:002009-03-16T21:27:00.000-06:00What a wonderful and vivid description of your alt...What a wonderful and vivid description of your altar boy experience. You are a well disciplined man and now I know why. That was a wonderful learning experience you went through. Look at you now.<BR/><BR/>By the way Bob, thanks for the info on TIN, but it actually was COPPER that I am working on. :( I don't know my mediums from a hole in the ground. I just hope I don't have to get a booster working with copper. Do I?

As tough as those old nuns were, I am glad that we had the discipline. I wouldn't want to go through the same experience again but I wouldn't trade having gone through it for all the tea in China.Bob Mrotekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15016079751197723749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7985623786044384912.post-36894435781701659312009-03-16T21:06:00.000-06:002009-03-16T21:06:00.000-06:00I remember that Latin also, amazing that stuff the...I remember that Latin also, amazing that stuff the nuns beat into us, still is with us.....<BR/>My Nun was Sister Mary Ambrose, the classes were two in one room, 1-2,3-4, 5-6, 7 & 8 grades in the same room. Now they complain when there are more than 30 kids. I think we had about 60 total. <BR/>In the Blues Brothers movie , the nun was the same like the ones in my school.....a perfect stereotype!<BR/>I don't think they do all those things any more, like the old ruler on the hand slaps....Tanchohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196129338636347646noreply@blogger.com
