I grew up Catholic although I'm not really practicing anymore. During Lent Catholics famously give up something special or important to them for a 40 day time period which I believe symbolizes the 40 days Jesus spent in the desert when he was tempted by Satan.
While on the phone with my mother on Fat Tuesday (the day before Lent starts) she asked me what I was giving up for Lent. At that point I told her that I have decided to give up being an miserable, angry human being...
Silence... before bellowing laughter....
"You can't make it one day without being angry about something or angry at someone. We both know that."
I have no idea what that woman said the rest of the conversation because she could barely compose herself.
Thanks for being supportive of me Mom...
