Incest HALLOWED SISTER

Shelly wagged a finger at me. "Yes, but.... we're called to be light in the darkness. We need to shed some light on what's otherwise a very dark night of the year."

"And -- how would we do that?" I asked. "It's not like we can hand out tracts at the door and expect people to be cool with it."

"No, you're right," Shelly said. "It needs to be something that fits with the theme. Something that leverages the rest of the event. Like... like -- costumes!"

"So, you mean, like Bible characters?"

"Not necessarily," she replied. "Something -- creative. Something -- catchy. Like Pastor Ralph did at his garage band's Halloween welcome party in his driveway a few years ago."

Mom spoke up. "You mean the one where he wore a gigantic box of Corn Flakes and had the plastic hatchet embedded in his temple, with fake blood dripping out?"

"Yeah, that's it," Shelly chuckled. "The infamous 'cereal killer' costume."

"So -- something nerdy," I joked.

"Well -- maybe," Shelly replied. "But symbolic. Something meaningful. Something to tell people what the church really is."

"Like 'the body'?" Mom asked. "You know -- someone is the hands, another one's the eye, another's an ear. I think I'm the hemorrhoids...."

"Mom!" Shelly exclaimed, "You definitely have nothing to do with the butt! If anything, you are the smile."

"Thanks, sweetie,"
