Young Tommy had been raised faithfully in the church by his loving grandmother. He attended services every Sunday, but now it was time for something new: his very first confession.
His grandmother explained gently, “You’ll go into a small booth, speak with the priest, and tell him your sins. He will listen and then forgive you.”
“Bless me, Father, for I have sinned,” Tommy whispered.
The priest nodded kindly. “Go ahead, my son. Tell me what’s on your mind.”
Tommy began earnestly. “I took a pencil from school without asking. I used a bad word. And I told a fib to my mom.”
The priest nodded again. “Those are not too bad at all. Is there anything else?”
Tommy thought hard. “Oh yes, I threw my sister’s Barbie doll out the window and told her it ran away.”
The priest chuckled softly. “Anything else, my son?”
Tommy remembered one more thing. “Last night, I put toothpaste on Grandpa’s dentures while he was sleeping.”
The priest bit his lip to keep from laughing out loud. “Alright, my son, I want you to say three Hail Marys and make an honest effort to be a better boy.”
“How did it go?” she asked.
Tommy’s grin stretched wide. “Piece of cake, Grandma… but I don’t think that guy behind the screen knows half the stuff I’ve done!”
