Holy week lesson: When at home, keep your religious theories to yourself. Particularly if the oldies are of a (very) traditional religious sort who are pretty resistant to change. They will not appreciate it if you say things like you think Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed by a volcanic eruption, that you don't think Jesus was born in December, that you think the bible should be read in light of the method by which the books were chosen and the effect of religious politics on such procedure, and the fact that things get lost in translation, and that you don't think the entirety of the bible should be read literally. Wapak, Grace. Wapak. Ayan, nasermonan ka tuloy. Just nod and smile dear, just nod and smile. And for the love of God, wag mo aminin na hindi mo memorized ang stations of the cross, at kailangan mo ng kodigo para sa mysteries of the rosary.
P.S. Buti na lang nagpakumpil na ako with Chi at natuwa naman sila sa akin. Otherwise, dead Grace.
