Today’s Jumble haiku:
(The old priest held views from before the Second Vatican Council and accordingly taught his pre-sacramental kids precisely how to accept the host—by giving it time to dissolve in the mouth.
In this, he thought the elderly archbishops who taught him were truly…)
“Straight Guides”
The priest was aghast
to find bitten wafers. (His
lessons were rigid.)

14 seconds for the O today. Do you know your French bread?

Childhood mischief brings remorse when you remember your
Straight Guides
The boy was hiding, rigid with terror.
It was not a mouse in the pantry
That had bitten the wafer.
He was the cause and they would be angry.
Let that be a lesson not to make that error.
Haha! OMK had the same title. But his wafers were sacramental. Is that a mortal sin? At least my terrified boy is only dealing with parents, not a priest. Thanks for the smile.
"Progress"
After going to confession,
Lily had learned an important lesson.
She must be friendlier and less rigid,
and stop being so frigid.
So at breakfast she ate a wafer,
which made her feel a bit safer.
She then petted her new kitten,
and has thankfully never been bitten.
Soon Lily's progress made great strides,
and she is now ready for new rides.
Ol' Man Keith, your neat comment reminded me of my Catholic upbringing and the excitement of the first time I received Communion.
CanadianEh!, hope your little wafer-eating boy didn't get into too much trouble.
Owen, we miss you. Hope you're having a good day.
CanadianEh! ~ I thought you might go with the same or similar title. It was hard to resist.
Your boy,"rigid with terror," is probably as fearful as any of my "pre-sacramental kids" would be if the old priest got his hands on them.
I couldn't help going in that direction once I saw the B and W J-words.
I am not Catholic, but my parents sent me to a Catholic school for my first three years because it was convenient. That's where I picked up bits and pieces of information, including the belief--in those days--that one shouldn't chew the communion wafer!
Your boy makes it clear that there are other wafers that shouldn't be bitten.
My advice to him is to finish off any wafers he starts. A low wafer count is probably better for a parent to find than any half bitten-through. And with any luck, mom didn't have a precise count!
Interesting, Misty, that your Lily starts off leaving the confessional, but then goes home to indulge in a non-eucharistic wafer! Could it be the sub-conscious mind at work?
Anyway, it is nice to know she is learning her lessons, feeling safe, enjoys a kitten, and remains bite-free!

Misty- interesting the memories that a word like “wafer” can evoke.
For Lily, a wafer made her feel safer. I suspect Lily has some anxiety disorder which made her unfriendly and rigid. Thankfully her kitten has provided security (and no biting!) leading to Lily’s great progress and willingness for “new rides”.
Good news.
