annundrielI made money at mass this morning.
The last few weeks we've had no one to play the piano or the guitar, which means that as a congregation we stumble through the music and sound a lot like Eddie Izzard doing, "Hallelujah, hallelujah, joyfully we lark about." (Clip on YouTube.) The whole thing leads to us singing a lot of the same songs over and over, more so than would usually be done in a church.
Today I turned to Dad near the end. "Five bucks says we sing 'Immaculate Mary' as a finish," I said.
He chuckled, stuck out his hand, and said, "You're on."
And, lo and behold, "Immaculate Mary." Five dollars in my pocket. Then I had the giggles and couldn't get through the first two verses of the song.
I should maybe feel bad about gambling not only in a church, but actually during the service, but I don't. ;)
