When I was 19 I went out with a right wagon who was originally from cork. We went down to the cork jazz festival and she thought it would be nice to call into her parents for dinner. I wasn’t wild on the idea however.
As we sat down to eat the three of them bowed their heads and started praying. As a rampant athiest I declined to join in and thought it went unnoticed until 10 minutes later her mother dropped a right clanger and said
"So Dave, do you not say grace before you eat at home?"
"No actually."
"Are your parents religious?"
"No."
"Well what do you believe in?"
She was looking at me like I just told her I had 48 hours to live.
At this stage the girlfriend jumped in a slightly diffused the situation with a joke that I cant remember. Anyways these guys were serious bible bashers and we all ended up in the living room watching catch phrase and eating after eights. I've never squirmed so much in my life.
Had a great weekend apart from that.
