We should swap horror stories about catholic parochial school sometime. Just one for now: we weren't allowed to wear jewelry or make-up to school. Over the Christmas break one year, I was at choir practice preparing for midnight mass. Since it was vacation, one of the older girls showed up in make-up and hoop earrings. The nun went OFF! Grabbed the girl's earrings and pulled them off - her ears were pierced. The nun swept this bleeding girl over to the convent to scrub her face and bandage her ears. Then the nun came back to practice as if nothing had happened. That poor girl stood there with a red face and band-aids on her ears until we were done. We were all too scared to do anything. And the worst part? That nun never got in trouble for abusing that child.
