Sammiscribbles weekend writing prompt #308 #If I were…

If I had become a parish priest

the job that I would have liked the least

would be to sit without change of expression

when listening to a particularly nasty confession

    Nice one. And was this once an ambition, to be a priest?

      My mother’s second husband, a Jamaican told my fortune and predicted that I would become one

        Wow. I remember back in school I dated a ‘chap’ who was destined for the church. He knew every erotic passage in the Bible. I bumped into him as an adult. Yes, he did become a priest, but then left. He couldn’t cope with the celibacy (he was Catholic). He became a social worker instead

    All my priest wanted to do during confession was gossip. I went twice and that was it.
