Creche Bang Boom

I’m sorry. The Little Drummer Boy just bugs me.

Think about it. Here’s a woman who just jolted along the dusty road on a donkey on the last day of her pregnancy. She gave birth in a stable. Now some well-meaning kid wants to beat a drum for her newborn in the middle of the night.

What they don’t even tell you is that right behind him was the guy whose only talent is making armpit farts.

For Mary, it was a long, long night.
