Right in the Middle of Things
I went to my stepmother’s mother’s funeral. They are both black and I’m white. It was at a very religious born-again Baptist-style church with lots of preaching and praying and saving.
In the middle of it, the preacher stopped and stared right at me and my dad, the only two white Jews there, and told everyone how someone in the family needed to be saved and how my grandmother’s soul was there wanting to convert us.
This was super awkward and it went on for 10 minutes. My stepmom, who was not religious at all, was super upset. I basically started to stand up and go get saved so we could all get out of there, but my stepmom hissed at me to “sit my butt down.” The pastor eventually gave up.
