Catholic Kindergarten Scars

I went to a Catholic Kindergarten. We had to go to church everyday. When we got to the wafer- you know "the blood and flesh of Christ" I would cry and refuse to eat the wafer. They would shove it in my mouth and check to make sure I ate it!! Bastards. I didn't want to eat flesh and blood. I didn't understand that it was a wafer. . . they told me it was flesh and blood!!!! One day on our way to church, I hit my head on something. They took me to the nurse. She asked if I was okay to return to church. I realized if I said no, then I wouldn't have to eat "Christ." I was glad I hurt myself. Religious "logic" has never made sense to me! Next year I went to public school:)

It made my stomach turn to think about it and how I used to sing that song as a child, completely ignorant to what I was saying. I would imagine without an upbringing like mine this song would freak you out!

i agree, communion is freaky as hell.

quick funny story: i had to sit through a communion when i was working with a kid with autism as a behavior therapist. she was offered the communion and i tried to tell the people, "hey, i'm not her mother. i don't know if she can participate in this." and i tried to hint that she couldn't speak for herself. well, they just looked down their nose at me and when they gave her the stuff, she automatically thought to just plop the cracker in the little shot of juice and not even drink it! lololol.... the look on the dude's face was hilarious.
