Another thing about the Catholic experience was the,"wait 'til your father gets home" threat, which loomed over every day of my life. The father being a god, of course. There is some weird parallel between that experience and reading the many articles and comments on the Internet concerning the NSA spying. I was quite surprised that the Snowden leaks are shocking to people, but my surprise could be due to already having been conditioned in childhood about a mystical spy overlooking all my actions and thoughts while in Catholic school, and those actions and thoughts were being judged by an invisible stranger.
Are you talking about Santa Clause?! 
jk of course
My brother and I were both acquainted with a woman who told us we were overly polite, but other than that I guess I'm pretty normal.
Goodnight!
