Happy Lenting: What Is and Isn’t Appropriate to Give Up

While we all eagerly wait for Jesus to once again pop up from the dead (and doesn’t he take his sweet time), like the most anticipated pop tart that a hungry morning ever saw, our Catholic mothers have been reminding us for ages (or maybe just a week) to decide the Thing we will give up for Lent. This Thing is something of great importance, as we will all publicly post about it in order to be held accountable. With this sacrifice, there is a great chasm between what mother/Jesus would approve of, and what they would not.

NOT OKAY

-reservations about public farting
-your virginity
-your born-again virginity
-your unborn child
-deodorant
-telling people about your herpes
-underwear
-chewing with your mouth closed

OKAY TO GIVE UP IN THE NAME OF THE LORD

-meat
-candy
-your potty mouth
-vodka
-cleavage
-your atheism
-diet coke
-murder
-wiping boogers on strangers
