Only A Mistake
The Irish girl knelt in the confessional and said :
- Bless me, Father, for I have sinned.
- What is it, child ?
The girl said :
- Father, I have committed the sin of vanity. Twice a day I gaze at myself in the mirror and tell myself how beautiful I am.
The priest turned, took a good look at the girl, and said :
- My dear, I have good news. That isn't a sin...it's only a mistake.
