Eucharist.

Once in middle school, at an all school mass, instead of crossing my arms over my chest and receiving a blessing, I held out my hands and received a blessed wafer. It was pasty, cold and entirely unpleasant. If the wafer and wine transform into the body and blood of Christ during Eucharist, couldn't they find something a little more better tasting?

I've never received the Eucharist since then and most of the time do not even go up for a blessing after an awful experience when a Eucharistic minister, someone who helps the priest in giving communion, mistook my sign for a blessing as wanting her to stick the wafer in my mouth.
