Notes:

This is the first fanfic I've written in years.

Work Text:

As they were preparing for that day's mass, one of the altar boys suddenly asked the priest, "Hey, Father Paul... why did Miss Keane call you 'babygirl'?"

When he heard this question, the priest fumbled the cruet he was filling, spilling the sacramental wine on his hand and the table and the floor and on his robes, which he would now have to change before the service started.

As he scrambled to set everything upright and find something to mop up the mess, Father Paul said, "Why don't we stop talking for a while, ok boys?"
