WINNIPEG, MB
The Ungers who live just south of the city could not make it to Concordia on time and had to settle for having their child born at St. Boniface.
“Well, I guess I’m a Catholic now,” said newborn Collin Unger. “It’s not all bad. At least I won’t have to live a life without dancing.”
The Ungers were really hoping that Carolyn could hold on a bit longer and make it to Concordia where are good Mennonites are born, but it was not meant to be.
“We trained for this for months,” said Carolyn, “but traffic was bad and that slowed us down and, well, I guess we’re RCs now.”
The Ungers were excited to celebrate the birth of cute little Collin but scrambled to change up the selection of snacks.
“I’m not even sure what to serve at a Catholic baby shower,” said Grandma Unger. “All I know is I had to toss out all the dill pickles and zwieback.”
Rumours are already spreading that the Ungers might have done this on purpose, especially since they were living in Landmark already.
“It makes you wonder,” said family friend Mr. Bergmann. “When you move to Tache, you’re kind of asking for it.”
The Ungers deny any such plans, though friends have found it awfully strange how quick they were to get young Collin baptized.
