[QUOTE="donna723, post: 444599, member: 1883"] OMG! I must have been the most profoundly neurotic little fatalist on the block! It's just a darned good thing that I didn't have to go to Catholic school like all my cousins! That probably would have finished me off! We have "Catholic school" stories in my family that go all the way back to when my 89 year aunt started first grade! I never would have made it through Catholic school! I had a hard enough time with the Sunday School teacher in our protestant church who, for some reason, went into great detail week after week about the poor lepers in biblical times and how they would be horribly sick and shunned by everyone and then were run off to live in isolation because their body parts kept falling off! She never bothered to tell us that very few first graders in suburban St. Louis got leprosy, so of course, on top of everything else that scared me, I was also terrified of getting leprosy ... and I wasn't the only one! I would spend hours examining my fingers and toes to make sure they were securely attached and looking at my nose to make sure there was no sign it was coming off! [/QUOTE]
