The quiet giggling would stop for a couple of seconds, then start all over again. I tied to concentrate on studying the week's readings, but I really wanted to turn around and see what they were up to. That would be rude, though, so I refrained.Once Mass began they stopped. When I sat back down after the opening prayer I tried to sneak an unobtrusive glance their way, but didn't have any luck. It wasn't until the Sign of Peace I could legitimately turn around and look behind me. The people turned out to be a normal-looking older couple. We shook hands with no mention of what had transpired earlier.

You are so polite, I tend to stare without realizing it.
ReplyDeleteI figured that since I was in church I should hold myself to a higher standard
DeleteThat was a lot of self restraint.
ReplyDeleteThanks. It was really hard :-)
Deleteha! i can remember a similar experience where i had to wait until the sign of peace to have a look at the people behind me. i think they had a little argument and i wanted so much to put faces to the voices:)
ReplyDeleteI'm the same way...always wanting to put faces to the voices
DeleteOh, you are good! I might not have been able to resist! haha.
ReplyDeleteI'm confident you could have if you wanted to :-)
DeleteYes - putting faces to the voices is exactly the reason I would have turned around for a quick peak. So admire your self restraint!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I guess I WAS in control (this time).
