"Letting the cat out of the bag" Granny's engagement party.

[trof]

My grandmother was married around 1910.
Back then people entertained themselves.
No radio or TV.

At my grandmother's engagement party a silken bag was brought in.
When it was opened a small kitten came out.
Around it's neck was a pink ribbon with a tag that read "The cat's out of the bag. Mildred is engaged to be married to Marvin."
Sweet.

2. No. Granny was a Baptist. Grandpa was 'questionable'.

3. cute story. what exactly is "questionable?"

it sounds good.
i used to tell my friends "my dad's cathloic and my mom's indifferent."

4. I don't think grandpa was particularly religious.

Although he was a deacon in the church, I think that was mainly for 'show'.
Business and social purposes.
