16:23Tim was an altar boy for six years, during which Christmas and Easter were brutal because he'd do six masses within 36 hours.
16:42The schedule included early Christmas Eve mass, midnight mass, and he wondered if altar boys got tipped like wedding servers did.
16:59The priest wasn't a pedophile but was a lawyer who defended them and would yell at the altar boys from the back if they didn't stand up fast enough for the Eucharist.
