During all those hours in Catholic schools when nuns were talking about a heaven, I was sitting there thinking of being able to watch what "those people down there" were doing.

Dammit again!

Comment by James Cox on September 19, 2014 at 7:49pm: Actually I was thinking of the coming chocolate milk break, how I could fake my Catholic school homework, and how much I wanted to scream out of boredom. The death of my sister gave me the break I needed..;-(

Comment by Tom Sarbeck on September 20, 2014 at 1:03am: On faking homework...

In fourth grade I skipped every other day. On the days I was away I didn't hear the homework assignments; on the days I was there I hadn't heard the assignments and didn't have to turn in any homework.

It worked well until a kid in my class asked my older sister where I was. She of course told our mom, who didn't punish me but ordered me to go to school.

The kid who squealed?

Five years later he and I were the only boys who started at a Jesuit college-prep high school. We rode the city bus together and became pals. The other boys all went to a sports-heavy high school.
