“I’m Melting! I’m Melting!”
At our church this weekend, our priest was making a point, using water, and he sprinkled various members of the congregation, to a series of “eeeeekks!”
I was reminded of several years ago – we had bought a new house, and our church has a special ceremony of blessing for a residence. As the priest carefully points out, he/she is not actually blessing the house, but blessing the inhabitants – nonetheless, every room has a special prayer, and the priest sprinkles a little holy water in each room.

As he sprinkled the water in one room, some hit my youngest sister, Sparkle. I watched her struggle not to do it, but she couldn’t resist.
“Ohhhh, I’m melting, I’m melting!” she cried out, like the Wicked Witch of the West in The Wizard of Oz.
Thank God, the priest was a good friend. He paused, looked at me and said “she is YOUR sister?” I nodded. He sighed, before continuing, and said “why am I not surprised?”

We must be related. My daughter would have done the same thing! I saw this picture the other day and all I could think is if I saw this cat I WOULD have looked for holy water. I would hate to be the vet opening the cage to check out this cat! It looks very vampire-like.
Y’know, I use “I’m melting” whenever the sun strikes my eyes directly…
I think we have something in common 😛
Anyways, Let’s just hope you don’t have THIS cat:

HAHAHAHAHAHA that is SO Sparkle :D! love the story – wish I had been there!
Momcat – probably in a previous life. 🙂 To me, that cat looks very very scared. They can all be hellcats when their instincts kick in.
Q8Geek – I am thinking we might be related, too . . . you have a very goofy sense of humor. 😛
LittleDiamond – YOU would have been too polite to say it, but you would be THINKING it! 🙂
Hah! LD would, too, have said it, just a little more sotto voco than I am capable of… 😉 Pretty sure its genetic, paternally speaking!
Pretty sure you are right, Sparkle! 😛
