What do you do when....

Ah that reminds of my grandma complaining that I refuse to say a grace.
I know that these aren't comfortable situations but you should never be ashamed to be an atheist. I seriously hope that your family can get along with this

[hismikeness]

I grew up Catholic, so we have a standard prayer before meals that may or may not be one of the beads of the rosary.  

But... when the family begins to recite this prayer, I take my right fist and place it against my open left palm right at my sternum, like you might imagine Mr. Miyagi doing whilst meditating. I kind of mumble the words, and always mock my mom because she was taught to nod her head every time The Virgin Mary's name is mentioned (which I think is 3), so I do a pronounced head bang.

It's all in fun and makes mom laugh.
