Italian Altar Boy Confession

September 15, 2017
Transitions

It's late and I did not have time to prepare for today's TGIF.

So here's just a cute shot of my grandkid getting ready to face Readin', Ritin' and Rithmetic.

Those were the days of innocence, adventure, candies and cartoons. I've come a long way. If you're readin' this, you've probably come a long way too. Weren't we so innocent then? Would our "baby self" be proud to know "who we are" today?

SEPTEMBER
(from the play The Fantastiks)

Try to remember the kind of September
When life was slow and oh, so mellow.
Try to remember the kind of September
When grass was green and grain so yellow.
Try to remember the kind of September
When you were a young and callow fellow,
Try to remember and if you remember then follow.

Try to remember when life was so tender
That no one wept except the willow.
Try to remember when life was so tender
That dreams were kept beside your pillow.
Try to remember when life was so tender
That love was an ember about to billow.
Try to remember and if you remember then follow.

Watch Julie Andrews Sing the Song

TGIF people!



Italian Altar Boy Confession
Contributed by Tom of Pasadena, CA


"Bless me Father, for I have sinned. I have been with a loose girl."

The priest asks, "Is that you, little Dominic Savino?"

"Yes, Father, it is."

"And who was the girl you were with?"
"I can't tell you, Father. I don't want to ruin her reputation."

"Well, Dominic, I'm sure to find out her name sooner or later so you may as well tell me now. Was it Tina Minetti?"
"I cannot say"

"Was it Teresa Mazzarelli?"
"I'll never tell."

"Was it Nina Capelli?"
"I'm sorry, but I cannot name her."

"Was it Cathy Piriano?"
"My lips are sealed."

"Was it Rosa DiAngelo, then?"
"Please, Father, I cannot tell you."

The priest sighs in frustration. "You're very tight lipped, and I admire that. But you've sinned and have to atone. You cannot be an altar boy now for 4 months. Now you go and behave yourself."

Joey walks back to his pew, and his friend Franco slides over and whispers,
"What'd you get?"

"Four months -- vacation and five good leads."

I knew I should have learned to play piano --- Christian piano music.! Then I could do what Chonda Pierce does --- musical comedy!

All you who speak 2 languages, raise your hand! Good. Now all you who can speak 7? Do I hear 6? 5? I see a bright future for this future translator/spy.

If the judges tell you to stop in the middle of your song, you know you are in trouble. See what happens.
