Communion
Tessa is sitting with Mamma in church when the communion plate is passed. Seeing an opportunity to start explaining communion to Tessa, Mamma grabs two elements, handing one to Tessa. Mamma quickly explains that the wafer is Jesus' body broken and that the grape juice is Jesus' blood. Tessa listens intently and then repeats back what she's heard. Then Pastor prays over the elents and Mamma nudges Tessa that it's OK to partake of the elements now. Tessa breaks the wafer and hands it to Mamma. When mamma motions for her to eat it Tessa refuses. The same for the cup of juice. When Mamma tries to explain that it's a cracker and grape juice and that it's OK to eat/drink she doesn't buy it. She's already been told it's Jesus's blood and body and simply says, "That's disqusting!"
