A TYPICAL MONDAY MORNING
(Office/school/college/friend’s house etc etc)
THEM: ‘Oh hi, how are you? Did you have a good weekend?’
YOU: ‘Oh hey, yeah, really great weekend thanks’
THEM: ‘ ‘Really great’ huh? Why, what did you get up to that was so great?’
YOU: [SQUIRMING SLIGHTLY] ‘Ermm...haha...well...ummm...I spent time with some friends and family and erm...ummm...haha...cough...went to church...cough...’
THEM: ‘You go to church do you? Oh right, never realised you were a church goer! Wow, I mean, that’s good...for you...I mean, so you go regularly?’

THEM: ‘Oh right! Wow, so...are you a er...a ummm...Christian then?’
YOU: [PAUSE]... [NERVOUS LAUGHTER] ...well...err....ummm.....
