Nice

Tongue

Now I know what to say next time someone wants to save my soul.

My family isn't religious, but my future family-in-law is VERY Catholic. All my boyfriend and I can do is keep our damn heathen mouths shut, as it is impossible to reason with them. And we avoid them as much as possible. They don't 'believe' in evolution, are very racist and prejudiced, all that good stuff...
