Ok, so, yep, we\u2019re back to the religious blog<\/a> concept.\u00a0 I really want to explore this idea.\u00a0 Or at a minimum, I really want to explore what happened at this past Sunday\u2019s mass.<\/p>\n

To set the stage: the Gospel reading was that one where Jesus appeared to the apostles in the locked upper room, post-resurrection. He wished them peace and then he breathed on them.<\/p>\n

Uh-huh. That\u2019s what I said the Gospel said.\u00a0 He BREATHED<\/em> on them.<\/p>\n

Was this an expression of affection back in the day?! Otherwise, Jesus breathing on his homeboys is a little puzzling, right?\u00a0 But pay this critical juncture in the faith no never mind.\u00a0 What I\u2019m saying\u00a0here is that this naturally prompted Sonny and me to begin breathing on each other.\u00a0 Using various escalating forms of breath, what started out as a playful, hair-riffling breeze soon turned to full throated exhales for maximum bad breath exposure.\u00a0 Huuuuuuuuuccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkgh.\u00a0 Eventually, the entire pew sounded like a bunch of sleestacks were after Marshall, Will and Holly.\u00a0 Whereupon I turned to Sissy to ask her what the whole breathing thing was about.\u00a0 Jesus’ breathing on the apostles, not our breathing on each other, just to clarify.<\/em><\/p>\n

I figured that surely Sissy, who could actually BE one of the apostles, what with her zeal and her kindness and her daily walking of the Word, surely SISSY would know what that breathing was all about.<\/p>\n

Turns out she DID know what that breathing was all about. And stop calling her Shirley, guck, guck, guck. <\/em> But instead of revealing all knowledge of end times, what she said was, \u201cIf you two don\u2019t stop it, I\u2019m going to punch you both when we get out of here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Oh. Ok.\u00a0 Apostle much?<\/p>\n

But? Because I\u2019m such a good mother??\u00a0 I ignored her threats and breathed on her too.<\/p>\n

Huuuuuuuuuccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkgh.<\/p>\n

I got a swift jab to the ribs for my trouble.<\/em><\/p>\n
