The Spin Doctor of the Confessional...

My son Tom is almost 12 and has started year 7 at a Catholic high school.

While eating dinner tonight, he shared the events of his day. There's always a 'story'. He glows with excitement as he announces, "We had confession today!". I looked at him with amazement and said, "That would have been interesting; you haven't been since you were 8, what could you have possibly told the priest"

Tom cheerfully replied, "I changed my friend's locker combination, I hid the kid over the road's bike, I don't always do what my dad tells me to do".

I was stunned and said,"Did you really do the first two things?!?"

"Of course I didn't", Tom replied, "I had couldn't think of anything bad I had done, so I wanted to make myself sound interesting."
