a little back story...

ryan's dad is a minister. while he was a minister at the h-town church (and while i was living in their house right next to the church), they were looking for someone to watch kids in the nursery during the service.

i said i would do it.

that was... 5? years ago.

since then ryan's dad went to be a minister in m-town.

he of course got a replacement.

oh, and if anyone doesn't know, i'm a godless heathen.

when ryan's dad was there, this was not an issue. i had an awkward moment when a parent suggested that i would be good at doing the kids bible study, but other than that no one ever said anything to me. (though ryan's dad was/is convinced that i am going to turn to the church in later age.)

anyway, when the new guy started, i figured he would come around an introduce himself. he didn't.
as much as i didn't want to because i really don't like going up to people i don't know, i went and introduced myself. his response was pretty much "okay"
not a very good first impression.

i don't know if it was this instance or some other instance but he asked me what church i went to. i said i didn't go to church. he gave me a nasty look.

today he was standing outside the church. he watched me park. when i got to the door, he said that if i would like, i could park in the parsonage driveway. i would totally be okay with that because the difference in distance is negligible. but he made it sound like he was trying to do me a favor when what he really wanted to do was tell me to not to park in the church lot.
now, i generally park about as far as possible. the only spots that are farther away are ones that require a hairpin turn from the street, so i just pull into the lot and take one of the first spots.
he also said he noticed i was a "good girl" for parking as far away as i did. who speaks to an adult like that?

oh, and i'm pretty sure the church lot is never filled. i won't swear on it, but from what i have seen of people going in and out, there aren't that many people. easter and christmas maybe, but not for regular services. so this makes his not wanting me to take a parking spot just seem extra unimportant.

so now i am more than a little annoyed. i started getting a migraine earlier and i tend to think this has at least something to do with it.
