Aging, Everlasting
How was my Easter cum Birthday? Joyous, for want of a better word. I took the girls to church, then feted them with wantonly whipped chicken embryos at Perkins. Delicious.
See, I fear I don't Anglicize the insolent little heathens enough. And when my magisterial authority is found lacking due to Faith in Father Failure, I find the threat of a Capricious Almighty serves very well. Discipline backed up by fear of being smote by lightning bolt serves very well, indeed.
Of course they were beautiful angels, and lavished me with great affection and gifts, so my theories were rightfully dashed. Children do this well. By tomorrow they will be savage infidels again, alas. A day like today, however, covers all sins great and minor.
A wonderful day, in case you didn't read between the lines. A renewal of faith, a renewal of the old belief in redemption, a renewal of possibilities previously squandered.
A beautiful day.
