Aria's Baptism: Today was my graduate school friend's baby's baptism. I went to the church and walked straight into a Catholic mass...in Spanish. I was ushered into a pew in the back that already had people in it and sat right in the middle. Oh boy. I wondered if other people were wondering "What is that chinita (Asian girl) doing here?" I had a moment of panic like "Did I come on the right day? What if the baptism was supposed to be on another Sunday? Crap. I left the invitation in the car and my phone is off. Ok, I guess I'll listen to this service. I have no idea what's going on. Oh, we're standing now. And we're saying stuff. And we're sitting down." I hope people didn't think I was rude for not kneeling or taking communion. Eek. Anyway, I saw Jessie's husband Joel take Aria out when she was getting fussy and I noticed that she was wearing a white dress. Oh whew, I'm here on the right day.
After the service and most people filed out, I realized that's when the baptism was going to take place. Aria was not having it, but after getting a bottle, she was much more content. Since the service was in Spanish, I watched the people around me. The little girl in front of me was doing to town, picking her nose. I don't know what was more amusing: that or her mom (?) checking to see what she was going and then being subsequently horrified.
Friend duty: check.
