corpus bedlum

So we were sitting in mass today for the holy day of obligation of the feast of Corpus Christi. The priest is making reference to the eternal flame by the tabernacle that holds consecrated hosts which are (possibly) the body of christ. All my kids are behaving really well. Ellis begins to tap me. I think she wants to go to the loo. I lean forward. 'What is it?' I ask. She beckons me further towards her. She looks around and then whispers:

'When I was young I thought they kept milky ways in there'.

Oh! If only.
