When I was younger, I could never say the word 'Protestant' (don't know why) so one day after service, my mom took me to meet the pastor. He talked with my mom then leaned down and asked me: 'Nice to see such a young Christian!' of course, me being such a big shot, didn't want to be known as 'another young christian'. I was special! I puffed out my cheeks and said: 'I'm not a Christian! I'm a Prostitute!' My mom quickly said: 'She means Protestant'. To this day, the pastor teases me about it.

Every Sunday my family went to a Catholic church that was nearby where we lived. During the communion part, I always wondered why the priest was handing out "potato chips" to everyone and I was always mad because I wasn't allowed to eat those "potato chips" just yet.
