Sunday night, a red-faced Mary, mother of God, was forced to sheepishly sneak back to the kitchen to gather an extra place setting for Easter shortly after her son Jesus arrived for dinner.
“I’m back from the dead, just like I told you guys! You believed me, right?” said Jesus loudly as he handed a bottle of red wine to his mother. “Just turned this from water a few minutes ago, sorry I don’t have an older vintage.”
“Of course,” replied Thomas. “You said you’d do it, so naturally we knew you’d be here any minute,” he continued, as Peter made hand gestures to Mary once Jesus shifted his gaze.
Luckily, Mary was able to bring out the extra plate and utensils while Jesus remained none the wiser.
What a great skill to have, never show up at a dinner party empty handed.
That dinner gave everyone time to return all the stuff of Jesus’s they’d called dibs on before the body was cold.
