2. High School
Christmas Day, and my family went to the movies. I was already grating
against the tradition then but wasn’t aware enough or brave enough to say I
wanted to stay home. The movie had ended
and I was standing in the lobby while everyone else used the restrooms. A middle-aged woman and her husband passed
by. She gave me the once-over and
whispered to him, loud enough that I heard her, "You can tell we’re the only
Christians here."
