Mary's Non-Fiat

 

Here's how the play went:  Mary's sitting nonchalantly and singing to herself.  When out of the sky drops this huge crocheted creature.  Mary freaks out.  She trembles and cowers and wrings her hands.

The crocheted creature says, "Do not be afraid!."  Mary is too frightened to understand what is being said.  Again, "Mary!  Do not be afraid!"  Mary looks at the crocheted creature and it speaks to her: "Hail Mary, full of grace!  I am the angel Gabriel and I have come to make an announcement."  Mary has stopped shaking and says, "Wha...why...huh?"  Gabriel continues, "The Lord is with You.  Behold, you will have a son named Jesus Emmanuel Christ.  He is the Son of God; you are to be the Mother of God.  Mary answers, "Cool!"

What can I say?  Theology of a ten year old.
