Confession

I think in therapy this is called a breakthrough, but...

This weekend, when confronted with someone judgmental about my current predicament (review: unwed/unplanned pregnancy), I had a thought flash through my mind. Here, let me replay that instant for you.

Judgmental mother in my neighborhood/acquaintance: "I just couldn't believe it when I heard the news, it's so sad, I'm so sorry, blah blah blah, are you seeing the bishop about this, will you marry the dad, you mean you're not even engaged or anything, etc."

Me (in my thoughts only): You, lady, are only SO narrow-minded and judgmental about this because a) you got married first, then had babies second, and b) it would be a miracle if someone knocked your nasty daughter up. Her only hope at this point is righteous marriage.

That's right, I thought it. So this is my confession: I may be a good person regardless of what sins I have committed (in your various perspectives), but I think horrible things about people who make me feel bad.
