When I was in 8th grade I was asked by the nuns to be Saint Nicholas for a church program thay day. They had me dressed up with in the full bishop regalia. I even had the staff and one of my then friends was my assistant. At the end of the mass I was brought in to do a blessing and sit in the bishop's chair which was brought down off the altar. As the grades filed out back to class I was supposed to give individual blessings.
When it got to the girls in 7th and 8th grade it got interesting. The girls took turns sitting on my lap telling me what they wanted and where I should put it. Mind you I was in church just feet from the altar and all of these were students from a Catholic school. And there were nuns watching.
Billy Joel said Catholic girls start much too late. I have no idea where he went to school but it wasn't Buffalo.
What a memory!
