For the record

Obviously you weren't quite old enough to remember who was at your baptism, because Uncle Mark and I remember quite well being at ABC for your baptism! Now, if I remember correctly, Roger, Debbie and kids came over to your house afterwards to celebrate also. (The old house on Sable, not your current house.) Maybe that's why you don't remember because you're getting old!! Wasn't you baptism actually on your 10th birthday - or maybe not!

So to answer your question - no, they did not "throw" the babies into the river - it was merely a figure of speech symbolizing when Jesus and others were baptized in the the river!!

And obviously you're getting too old to remember it clearly either. It was my eighth birthday, and they came over for birthday cake. There ain't no such thing as baptism cake. :P

Okay, so I was only off by two years! At least I remember being there - unlike your memory of me not being there!

Your mom may even have some pictures to prove our attendance, but they are probably not developed!!
