Frank had just come home from his first communion and after eating breakfast threw up his first communion breakfast. This was especially frightful for Frank as he thought "god was in her backyard," her being Franks grandmother. This also led to a fight erupting between Franks father and his grandmother as Franks dad just wanted to wash it away however Franks grandmother felt that would be blasphemous.
