I didn't feel like serving this morning since I had to serve the Eucharistic Procession. But I felt like droping by. The servers that morning were My friend Luke, my friend Sam, my friend John and Moi. We didn't have time to joke around, since it was like three minutes before mass. Our parish has a sister parish in Haiti, and their pastor (I forget his name) was in Maryland for his visit to our parish. That's where I turned into an idiot. One of the only things I know how to say in french (if you don't know this, they speak french in Haiti) is bonjour. So I did the polite thing,
Me: Bonjour.
The visiting priest: Ah, bonjour. Como t'allezi vu?
Me (sweating my head off): UUUUUUUUMMMMM?
Dad: Xav, "bien".
Me: Um, bien?
Sheesh! I gonna have to work on my french, don't'cha think? Comment me if you think I need to work on my french. O.K. Before mass, my mind was racing to try to remember the words I had heard in french before. I could only come up with, Oui (yes), Bonjour (hello, or good day), Merci Beaucoup, (thank you) and I heard these two from Dad since he took French in College, Como t'allezi vous? (how are you?), and Bien, (fine, well). Sacristy tale #2 of 2 coming soon!
