This is a weird one for you all...
Ok, today my grandma comes over to visit her grandson (me) as I return from a 3 month work trip in San diego, she wants to say hi and here all the stories.
I decide to show her some pictures in my room of what i got upto this summer.
When we get to my room my Grandma notices that I have a statue of Jesus Christ on my bedside, she seems very impressed as my Grandma is a Devout Catholic from Sicily, of all places, brought up to believe the solid word of the Catholic faith right down to the miniscule details.
This being the product of Church everday, not once a week, everyday for some 50 plus years, she makes orthodox seem like a pastime.
So she wanders over to it to inspect it further as her eyesight isn`t too good and was also proabably wondering while it was in a box.
When I saw this I thought I was gonna have to do a slow motion diving leap to get to the Buddy christ statue before I got a whole lecture on how owning this would mean I would suck cocks in hell for the rest of my life.
But do you know what happend.....
My 72 year old Devout Catholic Sicilian grandma, statrts to laugh, so hard in fact I thought she would overflow her incontinence pants!!
She asked me where i got this, I said at the San Diego Comic Con where i met Kevin smith, who came up with the buddy Christ idea.
She then says to me the next time I was over there to buy one for her and tell Mr. Smith "God Bless You!!"
