I mean, church was always about the less-concrete life values stuff & on some level, I’d always understood God/Jesus as a myth.
I mean, we weren’t really ritualistically consuming the son of God at mass on Sunday, were we?

Text chat:
My sister, Mary: “Tonight aspen said he loves me, mama, grandma, grandpa, KT, and cookies….etc.
I can’t believe we all rank higher than cookies! 🤣🤣🤣”
Me, in response: “Awwwww. I love Aspen more than cookies too.”
Y’all, I might be the cool aunt (or at least a cool aunt he spoke to shortly before bedtime)!

So far at my office, people have mostly asked it questions & proved it was wrong and used it to reformat text documents (ie make a list of addresses easier to copy/paste).

We saw this exactly a week after my friend’s sister, so as we’re walking out, she called her sister and was all, “Seven days!” in a growly voice.
