[QUOTE="pretender, post: 1091817, member: 1493"] We had the IHM nuns in grade school--I remember the wooden rulers, and the girls also had to kneel down to see if their skirts touched the floor. Every now and then, when someone sees my handwriting, I am asked if I went to a Catholic school... My dad was a non practicing Catholic. I can't remember the first time, but there was an occasion when a few of the nuns visited our house. My dad did not put on any pretenses, and treated them the same as anyone else. I think they found it a bit of relief, because they became regular visitors, and my dad would make pizza for them and would offer them a beer. (I don't think they ever had one.) They just enjoyed being able to kick back, so to speak. They have all passed away now, but they kept in touch for many years after we were all out of school. [/QUOTE]
