Parental Candor

”Now that you’ve had your Coca-Cola and we’ve enjoyed a pleasant afternoon in our matching mother-daughter dresses, Cindy, I feel it’s the right time to finally tell you that you’re not my biological child at all. You see, I was a dog-walker for a wealthy couple on the Upper East Side in New York and one day I stole you from your crib and brought you here, to Pigpatch, Missouri, to raise as if you were my very own. It’s been difficult living a secret life and assuming a different identity, but I expect things will get better for me when Satan finally comes to claim you tonight in fulfillment of our twelve-year contract. Drink up, toots. It’s hot where you’re going.”
