Nuns, rulers, plaid uniforms..oh my! Did THEY go to some kind of school to learn how to handle young children? All the hitting that went on? Can you imagine this taking place today? The lawsuits would be flying! I still have my pagan baby certificate! I named her Barbara.

I studied in a Catholic school (India) during the 60s & 70s. we were high on works of charity. Had collections, sales and raffles for all sorts of projects.It was really good.

I like your new website.

I came by way of Tongue in Cheek. This is a great memory! I too hope Mary Twiggy is well and prospering!
This is the best Mary- double name I’ve ever heard of!

well i’m still catholic, even if it is on my on terms, but didn’t go to cathilic school. but my friends tell some of the funniest stories i’ve ever heard, this was in the 50’s and early 60’s. my lot drove many tired nuns into retirement and one over the hill! she walked out of their 7/8 grade split class one day, stole the convents station wagon and was never heard from again! everytime this story is told in its’ entirety i wind up laughing until i can’t breathe. i fully understand the pagan baby mentality and the joy a group of nine year olds would take in owning one of their very own! poor mary twiggy is middle aged now, kind of takes the bloom off the rose doesn’t it!

Been thinking about this today. Just had to say its made me envious I wasn’t Catholic. Apparently Presbyterians didn’t have the foresight to order pagan babies.

How funny. As an adult I’m dealing with all the idiosyncrasies of many friends raised Catholic. But your heathen baby story tops many of their grade school escapades.

I think I’ve read this post three times now throughout the day. It’s just that kind of funny. I love it.

Catholics (and those damned fallen Catholics :> ) have the best sense of humor, I swear. Evidently, it starts early.
