At church our priest, Father Stewart Wilbert, likes us to say amen as loud as we can. At the ending prayer we had to say more than one amen. On the first one I said it really loud. There were old ladies in front of us, and I looked at them. One of them started laughing. On the second amen she said it louder than I had before and started nudging her friend and laughing. It was SUPER funny!
It sounds like you were a good example!
