DAILY SNACK
Word to the wise:
Your child’s baptismal certificate,
Should not be stashed away in a dusty old keepsake box,
Next to the baptismal candles and a sample of one of his first scribbles.
Not if there’s any chance,
However remote,
That you might one day wish to enrol him in a Catholic school.
That memento is actually considered an important document in those circles.
And trust me.
After you spend the better part of 12 hours unearthing his birth certificate and immunization record,
The last thing you’ll want to do,
Is spend another five desperately searching for the Certificate of Baptism.
You’re welcome.
(Sure, you can probably get another one issued from the church, but that would involve actually going there for the first time in … uh … did you make it to the Christmas mass last year? You know, awkward.)
