I
came home today from work- you have to appreciate teaching in an urban environment- your mind is constantly going about a mile a minute and there is enough adrenaline within your system to keep a small city running-
Once again- as I was moving at about a mile a minute and she was kavetching on the phone , the whole "Walton's family" picture came up and somehow I managed to walk past the live tree that I keep in the dining room and water the plastic one that is in the living room....
So...
A.) It is time to come out- possible approach-over dinner- maybe "I am gay, can someone pass the potatoes?"
B.) Midnight Mass- I can slip it into Ave Maria as the family sings...at least we would remember the date
C.) Throw my confessional into a Christmas Card
D.) Throw mom into the confessional and throw the card in after her
E.) Offer the family to play charades-
F.) Give everyone in the family books by Oscar Wilde for X-MAS
I am breaking this by Christmas-If you live near the East Coast- you will feel a temperature drop of 10 degrees....
Catholic families....ahhh...what an invention that shows us how God has a sense of humor.....

 | Posted Sep 21st, 2008 at 6:33PM ladolcevita, did you ever wonder why the characters in the movie loved driving their convertables in the dark while wearing sunglasses? That's how coming out to my mom went. I was 18. It's been 20 years now and I think she still hopes its a phase. Please, Catholic family? Try Alabama Church of Christ, Sugar! Unfortunately, I've had an easier time becoming an Episcopalean than in finding a partner. As Scarlet said, tomorrah is anothah day! Speaking of Oscar Wilde books, don't forget...he said "Be yourself. Everyone else is already taken!" |
