Grizelda and Bones get together,
and have themselves a set of twins—
one girl and one boy.

They figured that would be best.

There was a little trouble
at the church
when the priest asked
“What shall theses children be named?”

The priest patiently explained
that calling the kids
Grizelda and Bones
just wouldn’t do,
as there are no saints
with those names.

He suggested Mary Grizelda,
and Joseph Bones,
and told Grizelda and Bones
that they could call their kids
by any name at all,
once they got them home.

Saints preserve us! ~ er, "them"! ~ Mary Griselda and Joseph Bones! lol The priest had a sense of humour!

Did Bones and Griselda follow the priest's advice?

Thanks dear Linda,

Of course they followed the priest's advice. Why risk going to hell.

The Church does have certain rules, and it's good for a Catholic to follow them. You can’t just pick and chose what tenets you’re going to follow.

Thanks Brett,

Believe it or not, Scrump and Rugrat are not proper Catholic names. Many popular names are not Catholic names. Of course most people are not Catholics.

Thanks James,

Many people do that. I always used names that ran in the family, or after heroes and heroines.
