“Whenever I look at Richard, I’m filled with hatred,” my friend Jenna told me.
“But why?” I asked. “He’s a great guy, everybody loves him.”
“I can’t look at him without remembering that he sullied my beautiful daughter’s body! With sex! He had sex with her!”
“Jenna, your daughter is 36,” I said.
“Yeah, so what?”
“She is married to Richard.”
“And? What are you getting at?”
“They have a daughter.”
“OK, I’m seriously not getting your point here,” Jenna retorted irritably. “Whose side are you on?”
P.S. This is a family of highly educated cosmopolitan atheists from LA, in case anybody is getting ready to make comments about the Bible Belt.
