Boy, did this happen to me just 3 weeks ago at church!!!
As a Catholic, part of our mass it to bring up the gifts of bread and wine to the priest for consecration of Communion. That Sunday I brought my visiting granddaughter (13) along with my son and other grandchildren. It doesn't happen often but I was tapped by the usher before mass to bring up the gifts. I asked granddaughter and surprisingly even though she's shy, she agreed to go with me!
When the solemn time came, we proudly went up and presented the gifts and holy (ish) went back to our seats where my son, sister-in-law and nephew were grinning and stifling laughter like cats!
After we sat, my son leans towards me and quietly asks if I was planning to return my blouse? "????" At first, it didn't hit me but then, horrifyingly, it did.
As it turns out, I went in front of the entire church with my sales tag on a new blouse that I forgot to remove, fully hang out as I lifted my arms to present the gift!!!
Well, embarrassed and turning ten shades or red, I could only come to one reaction. I started to giggle. Thank goodness it didn't turn out to be a full on laugh, but boy did it take every ounce of strength to push that down very, very low. Not only that but forgive me Father God, every time I glanced at my SIL and nephew they would grin and thus start me off anew!!!
Mercifully, the mass went on normally as much as possible and afterwards, a kind friend came up and whispered to me that my tag was showing. Sheepishly I said my son already informed me and after this I wouldn't be surprised if I got a nickname of "The Minnie Pearl of St. Hxxxxts!!!"
Oh and as far as my granddaughter is concerned, she didn't know of anything amiss because she went to sit by her cousins down the row. (And I don't plan on telling her until years from now. She'd probably would have been traumatized!
)Your story brings to my mind the viewing before my father's funeral. It was a solemn and ornate setting, complete with friends and family, flowers, statuary and doleful organ tones. I was 7 months pregnant, slitting next to my Mom. She let out a giggle. Horrified, I turned to her and asked, "Mom! What're you laughing about?" She said, "See that lamp over there in the corner?" Said lamp was a statue of a young woman in a flowing gown, one arm raised above her head (to hold up the lamp shade). I said, "Yeah. So?" Mom said, "Every time I look sat her, she looks more and more pregnant!" I looked, and looked again. Dang if she wasn't right! We both got the giggles so badly, we could not stop.Boy, did this happen to me just 3 weeks ago at church!!!

Are you sure about that?
Especially if you're going the distance.
