According to the old-school Catholics back in Buffalo, girls could make the Virgin Mary cry if they …
S Whistled
S Got angry or lost their temper
S Fell in love with a boy that wasn’t Catholic
We know what makes the Baby Jesus cry. What gets the Virgin Mary sad?
It’s generally accepted that angry, bad-tempered Catholic girls who focus their deepest affections on non-Catholic boys are responsible for making the BVM cry when they whistle. Something about the excess adrenaline and estrogen causing their lips to swell enough to send their whistling off-key to enough of a degree to cause intense aural discomfort to the Mother of Christ.
That, and The Evil That Men Do.
Oh, yeah, and slicing onions.
Washing your hands in the holy water probably makes the baby Virgin Mary cry.
I would imagine wearing your Catholic schoolgirl skirt above the knees also does the trick. Extra tears if you’re out of high school.
Flipping past EWTN on cable without making the sign of the cross makes the BVM well up.
Masterbating kittens.
Baby Jesus crying makes the Blessed Virgin Mary cry.
<slight hijack> Do you all realize that Catholic girls would not be able to date Jesus? Him being Jewish and all. <end hijack>
Probably because her Son didn’t become a doctor or a lawyer, never called His mother, and never made her a grandmother.
