I was in the office kitchen just now for a cup of coffee. While I was pouring the non-dairy creamer into the cup, our plant manager (a former priest) came into the room and commented, "So, you were an altar girl?" (Actually, he pronounces it "oh-al-tah"...)
I looked at him, surprised. He knows I'm Catholic because we chat about theology all the time, but I didn't think I'd ever mentioned my years as an altar server.
He went on, "You have the 'preparation of the altar head tilt.'" He held his head at the angle that I had held mine while pouring the creamer. "Just like pouring the wine, or catching a baseball: Watch it all the way in."
I cracked up. He's totally right; I do hold my head like that. I never realized I'd picked it up as a server.

Did you say "Hell yes, I was an altar server...And I had a 10 pound candy bar to prove it!" I still smile when I think of your "Sweetest Server" award. Between that and the Kirby Shaw/Inagural Ultimate Choir Dork title, you have some major resume additions! Love you, Mom
Wow, I am going to have to watch the boys for these signs of alter-server-itis!
Great share~ Thanks!
Love the sweetest server award idea... maybe something to consider for our servers at SH?
Bridget
Miss you!
