5. It had been 25 years since my last mass.
Until I went to my niece's wedding, a full-bore Wedding Mass. It was like I'd been just the week before. I still knew the entire liturgy. My kids, upon whom I had never inflicted Catholicism, stared at me with their mouths wide open.
I'm pretty sure we made the holy water boil, though.
