8. I think in my family, it was a little unusual because of my grandpa...
This is my Mother's side, mind, and the Aunt and Uncle I'm talking about are from that side as well, his and my grandma's kids.

My grandpa was Presbyterian, and my grandma only married him if the kids would be raised Catholic, the thing is that he wasn't a "good" Presbyterian, frankly he was a party animal when he was younger, and quite, how shall I say, sacrilegious as well.

He used to annoy my grandmother by botching Grace on purpose, something like "Rub a dub dub, thanks for the Grub, yeah God." :)

Anyways, he taught us grandkids the basics of life, card games, drinking, partying, and for us guys, how to chase girls. :) He was cool, even if he get on my grandmother's nerves a lot.

Also, as far as I know, he didn't set foot in a Presbyterian Church since his parents died, well before I was born.
