Remembering memories from such a long time ago bring a smile to my face. One especially. I’ll tell you what happened.

I was in grade eight and had to go to a nun’s retreat. Why? Because it was part of the process for us to get confirmed (ie: sacrament of confirmation). Anyways, back then I was one not to give a crap about anything and always wore funny t-shirts or ones with messages that weren’t always nice.

Well, I wore this Homer Simpson shirt because you know, that was the cool thing to wear. On the shirt it read, “I tried my best and failed miserably. The lesson is never try.” That’s a direct quote from an episode of The Simpsons.

One of the nun’s ended up seeing it when we were walking around outside and she wasn’t too happy. She started lecturing me about how the shirt was inappropriate to wear to a place like this, blah blah blah. I was in my own little world and didn’t really pay attention to her. She ended up seeing that and left abruptly.

To me, I will always remember that memory. Why? I’m not even sure but I guess it’s just the fact that I ended up pissing off a nun. LOL!
