Here is a funny story. My friend agreed that I could share it with the world, as long as I didn't identify her or give away (in any way) who she is.
Hint: she wears shoes.
So in class today we were talking about Catholicism and the various effects the higher-ups in the church had on the English language, mostly their specialized language, etc. I made a somewhat snarky comment about the Catholic church, and the following conversation ensued.
Me: I can say that.
Anonymous girl: Oh yeah. I forgot about that. That your family is Catholic.
Me: Well, technically, we're Jewish. We became Catholic during the Inquisition so we wouldn't die. We were wusses.
AG: You're Jewish?
Me: I guess. Like, ethnically.
AG: You can't be Jewish! You're too pretty!
She then proceeded to ram her foot so deep down her throat I am positive her shoe will never be recovered.
Thus, if you see a girl walking around campus with only one shoe: STONE HER!! STONE HER!!

Wow...
lol This is amazing. It's difficult to repress my own sentiments on the matter.
It reminds me of the time you taught a training about working with Catholics in District Meeting. I still have those notes.
haha, this story is fantastic. also, it reminds me of what JR's Filipino grandmother said to me sometime around Christmas. "Pam-ay-la," she said (that's how she pronounces my name). "Pam-ay-la, YOU have a JEWISH beauty."
It was simultaneously the oddest and the most wonderful compliment I have ever received from an old woman. I loved it.
