Last night's dinner conversation at the house of Fortuna
Mrs. Fortuna: "Girls, do you know what's special about tomorrow?"
Girls: "No."
Mrs. F: "Honey, tell them what tomorrow is."
Bib: "It's opening day of baseball for the Astros."
Girls: "Cool!"
Mrs F (exasperated): "No, I meant tomorrow is Maundy Thursday."
Girls: "What is that?"
Mrs F: It's the day of the Last Supper where Jesus washed his disciples feet before Judas betrayed him.
Daughter #1: "What does betray mean?"
Mrs. F: "Judas told Jesus he was on his side but then he had him arrested. He broke his promise to Jesus for some silver coins."
Bib: "The Astros were betrayed by a guy named Mike Fiers."
Daughter #2: "What did Mike Fiers do?"
Bib: "He was a pitcher for the Astros and then he turned into a dirty snitch."
Daughter #1: "What's a snitch?"
Bib: "Someone who goes behind your back to get you in trouble on purpose."
Mrs. F (doubly exasperated): We're talking about Jesus and Judas, you know Easter it this Sunday, girls."
Daughter #2: "Are we getting candy?"
Mrs. F (triple exasperated): "That's not what Easter is about."
Daughter #1: "What happened to Judas?"
Mrs. F: "When he saw what happened to Jesus he tried to give the money back and then he felt so guilty that he hung himself."
Daughter #2: "Did Mike Fiers feel bad about being a snitch?"
Bib: "No, he didn't. In fact whenever his team plays the Astros he fakes like he's hurt so he doesn't have to pitch against them.
Daughter #1 (deep in thought): "Snitch and pitch rhyme. They should call him the Snitcher Pitcher."
Bib: "That is the best idea I've ever heard."
Mrs. F (defeated): "I don't know why I even bother with you."
