A very funny list written by some PKs – not mine but give it a few years and they will be compiling their own list. The ones in bold are some that already ring true for my kids and one that isn’t on the list but should be is – your parents invited the entire parish and surrounding parishes to your baptism.
You know you’re a PK if….
-You know what PK stands for
-You have lived in at least 4 states
-You can turn it on and off when there are parishioners around
-You understand what I meant by turn it on and off
-You cannot believe your dad’s classmates are actually Priests
-You have to invite the entire parish to your wedding
-Your graduation party resembles a Greek festival more than a grad party
-You teach Sunday school by age 14
-You were the GOYA/SOYO president your senior year
-Everyone else leaves church at noon and you’re there until 2
-You were in Greek school for 6 years and don’t speak any Greek
-Everyone thinks you speak Greek
-You can’t talk to anyone without them asking you if you’re going to be a priest (boys)
-You can’t talk to anyone without them asking you if you’re going to be a presvytera (girls)
-You couldn’t identify your dad the first time he shaved off his beard
-Clergy Laity is not only a Biennial Congress but also your Biennial Vacation- click link for photos and more here.
-You have to explain to everyone that you’re NOT catholic
-You grew up thinking Bishops were celebrities
-You are embarrassed when your dad wears his black robe in public
-You are the only person at your school that can distinguish between the robes Orthodox, Muslims and Indians wear
-You run when you see parishioners in public places
-You pity the young seminarians for their ignorance
-You are tired of hearing young priests complain because you have heard about what your parents went through
-You have run to get a snack at 11:45 pm on a Saturday night
-You have considered setting up a cot at church during Holy Week
-You have free range of the church office
-The secretary has doubled as your babysitter

Where did you get the list?
great..:)
Wonderful!! Just now, my husband, my sister-in-law and I (all PKs) sat reading this and laughing out loud through the whole thing! We especially loved the “turn it on and off” one. Thanks! We all needed that.
That is hysterical! Seriously.
