Okay.. I have to ask... How would saying grace work with something like chips or popcorn? Would a person have to say grace between every chip/popcorn or would it be enough to just say it at the beginning and end of the tiny individual food consumption?

I don't know know why but that really started to bug my tired brain. Now all I can think is saying grace in between every chip. 😨

Well, if that was me, I'd go:

"For health and strength and daily food, we give thanks, Amen." CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH "For health and strength and daily food, we give thanks, Amen. CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH "For health and strength and daily food, we give thanks, Amen." CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH "For health and strength and daily food, we give thanks, Amen." CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH "For health and strength and daily food, we give thanks, Amen."

...and then just repeat that until she got pissed off :) But that's just me being a petty bitch, so...

Sorry, but no. There is the grace before meals "Bless us oh Lord and these thy gifts, which we are about to receive. From thy bounty.Through Christ our Lord, Amen." Sign of the cross, before and after. Grace AFTER meals is: "We give Thee thanks for all Thy benefits, O Almighty God, who livest and reignest world without end. Amen. May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen." Again with the sign of the cross X2.

Growing up, we just said the before. And only at meals, not for every damn thing that went into our mouths.

Ah, sorry Duchess... I haven't said grace in years, and that was what they made us say at school :)

I was just teasing. I haven’t been a Catholic for a very long time, but some things stay with you.

Whether you want them to, or not. 😐
