A newly ordained priest, fresh out of seminary, is a little nervous about his first day in the confessional.
He asks the senior priest to sit in on his sessions.
After the first few, the older priest asks him to step out of the confessional for a few suggestions.
The older priest says, โCross your arms over your chest and rub your chin with one hand.โ
The younger priest tries this.
The older priest follows this with, โTry saying things like, โI see, yes, go on,โ and โI understand, how did you feel about that?โโ
The younger priest repeats them several times, nodding.
โNow,โ the older priest says, โdonโt you think thatโs a little better than slapping your knee and saying, โNo way!
What happened next?โโ
