First Communion

Logan will soon be making his First Communion, and the other evening on the way home from Religion Class, he asked me a little bit about the ceremony.

Mom, will I be able to go up and have communion just like you do?

Yes you will buddy...are you excited?

Yes, but do you drink the wine?

No. I don't but you can make the decision on if you would like to do that or not.

I don't want to.

Don't do it just because of me, you can choose what you want to do.

I really don't want to do it...do you ever notice how everyone drinks it and all they have to clean off the spit is a little napkin?

Yes, I did notice that and to be honest that is one of the reasons I do not receive the wine.

Ok...Mom I'm definitely not going to do it. It's full of germs.

You see...I'm a bit torn with this. I want him to make his own decisions, but I agree with his decision. Am I the only one that wishes we could come up with a way where we aren't sharing so many germs. Or am I being silly, and need to just suck it up?
