JESUS!

My mom: I know we sometimes slide stuff under the couch in the living room, did you look under there to see if any of your stuff found its way there? Why don't you take a look under there.

Me: (looks under couch) JESUS!

My dad: What? What's under there?

Me: Jesus. The manger Jesus.




You see, every year my mom sets out our manger set for Christmas. Usually, she doesn't set out the baby Jesus until Christmas day (because he hasn't been born yet. Get it?). This year, she put him out there with the wise men and other people on the foyer table. I joked with her that Jesus shouldn't be out yet since he hasn't been born. Apparently while I was away at school she moved him and hid him under the couch.

She hides him every year. And every year, it's under the couch.
