Part 2
It’s a study in personality
to see how the respective members of my family react to History Channel’s The Bible. Granny’s commentary about the
show was interspersed with news about the neighbors and thoughts concerning the
latest season of Downton Abbey. Baby,
Granny’s red dog, sat and glared at us with You’re
On My Couch writ large on his face. My mom and brother are the nitpickers,
though Mom’s complaints make a lot more sense than Sam’s usual, “Hannah. Hannah. Herod wasn’t that fat, was he?”
Mom’s question – “I can’t believe they didn’t show Nebuchadnezzar’s redemption”
– made a lot more sense.
