We were always told by the Sister Solasctica never to wear patent leather shoes, as a boy could see your pants in the reflection (tells you how pervy nuns thinking is) and if you sit on a boys lap make sure that you place a yellow pages on his lap first. What advice, I'm not even Catholic!
I can see the funny side of it now its half a life ago but I don't think its an experience I will inflict on the mini Warners in a hurry! There's only a few of the "old school guard" left in our family so not many incense filled occasions are to be attended. I still can't stand the smell of the stuff though.
We still have priests and nuns in the family, and - I've got to say it - they really are / were some of my favourite relatives. My Aunt Katherine was famed for her wedding cakes - some taller than herself - and its so poignant that this woman never made her own wedding cake or one for her daughters.
Just to reinforce my Catholic street cred - my sister was confirmed by Bishop Marchinkus - the Vatican banker.... he even was featured in the Da Vinci Code.
I love the sound of Aunt Katherine and her high rise cakes. Maybe she thought it would all go wrong making them for loved ones, or that her thoughts, whilst making the cakes,would wander and take the 'loving touch' from her skilled hands.
Were you named after her?
