This kills me. And, I imagine that anyone who has ever served as a bishop is conflicted if he should laugh or not. Go ahead.
Now, don’t think for a minute that any bishop would EVER have such limited compassion, but I do love seeing this expression that was popular when I was a kid. I seldom see youth today rubbing their thumb and index fingers together. I doubt today’s youth appreciate the nuance of the world’s smallest violin. (If you have no idea what I’m talking about, then you are under the age of 30)
What is really strange is that the people that this is actually aimed will probably not even make the connection that they are being mocked.
(To be clear, I don’t think a Bishop would ever say this to anyone…out loud.)

I’m 24 and have used the world’s tiniest violin a whole heap. LOVE it!
Ha ha ha! I do the little violin on my fingers all the time! And not even 30 yet. ( :
30? Congratulations! Your are old enough to be my daughter – If I had committed grievous sin while on my mission… Awkward.
That is a good one! And I totally used to do that all of the time to people and I am 30, so I guess I just made it 🙂 phew!
