The mother and daughter were walking down the street on a beautiful warm morning. The daughter had just returned from the Olympics where she had won a gold metal in Gymnastics.
The local Priest met them and they had a nice visit about the young lady’s ability and what she had done to win her gold medal.
So she leapt up into the air and did a couple of somersaults to the rear and then forward. Then she did some cartwheels and went both directions on the sidewalk and then finished up with a flourish right in front of the good Father.
The Priest said, “Oh my goodness! That is great. Who was your teacher and coach?”
The mother said, “Well I was.”
And she went ahead and did every exercise her daughter had done and came back to the group and talked a little.
Across the street was two older ladies from the parish, they could see everything that went on but they couldn’t hear any of the conversation. One lady exclaimed to the other, “Oh my goodness! Look what the good Father is giving out for penance today!”
See ya!
