An inconspicuous escape

If you’re planning to, say, meet your grandmother for brunch at “the home” … and must leave your small church body during the final song … do not – I repeat – do not walk down the center aisle.  Because try as you may to look small and invisible, you’ll glance to the left and see someone you know.  Since you don’t have time to chat, you’ll wave.  You’ll look to the right, same thing.  Before you know it, you’re gliding your way down a walkway, blowing kisses and elbow-elbow-wrist-wrist-wrist-ing your way out of church. 

The side aisle my friends… the side aisle is the only way to go.
