" so what are you giving up for Lent??"

"Eating babies......"

Tis the season that I get asked this question almost everyday.... I'm going to need some more snarky come backs as I'm running out of new ones.

Laughing at "eating babies." 🙂

"I'm giving up chocolate for lent."

"I'm giving up beer -- but not whiskey -- for lent."

"I'm giving up soda for lent."

Nauseating.

None of them (any Catholic I know) mentions the volunteer service or "good works" they'll be doing in addition. Just that they are so pious for giving up some treat that goes in their stomach.

Ugh......

No body had asked that question in the last 15 years, that's how rough I am disconnected from people.

When people ask me what I'm giving up for Lent, I usually answer, "Catholicism".

I was about to type "religion," but you beat me to it!
