Conversation

"Did I tell you about Jesus?" she asked, and the boy she was talking to turned to me, explaining: "Jesus is a fish she bought from Walmart."
"Jesus jumped from the fish net and landed on the rug," she said, "and my dog picked him up. I had to chase the dog all around the house to get him back. He's fine. I know. Weird, right?"
We're all silent, imagining dog with fish in mouth. The fish ... it's fine? How is that possible?
There's a Parable in there, but darned if I can find it.
