Timing is Everything

So, a couple weeks ago I was speaking to an otherwise intelligent but very, very Christian co-worker about the fact she is letting her teen daughter go to the launch night for some new vampire book. I expressed a bit of surprise that she was letting her daughter go to such secular festivities. Her reply: “I don’t believe it, of course, I’m a Christian, but I believe that my kids are smart enough to tell the difference between reality and made-up nonsense like people rising from the grave and living forever and that sort of nonsense.”

Maybe if those pesky vampires waited three days before rising from the grave?

That made me giggle. I can’t believe you don’t have 5,000 pissed off comments for this one.
