I felt horribly guilty. Too bad, eh?
We haven't habitually forced confessions nor apologies from our son for a similar reason. They aren't very useful to anyone if not from the heart somehow or from the moral center trying to work through feelings still wrestling with the urge to push someone. Or grab the/their/my stick.
Was it school policy? Oh, so you needed to confess as a Catholic school student. Well it was church doctrine for us. First communion around 8. Confirmation, maybe 12-14. I forget. Prior to communion as you know comes confession.
So you really were only part Catholic :-)
I dig a pony.
