The family of four sheep grazed comfortably in their backyard. A painted sky played out before them, as the sun was setting on another beautiful Southern Texas day. Fox news played on the television. The kitchen table, except for a bag of McDonalds food was covered with guns. Only the little ones thought, the big ones were leaned up against the corner by the counter. The big male known as Jimbo stopped chewing long enough to complain about the gas prices. “ Those Arabs need to quit charging us too much for gas. Everybody knows they are just doing it to make more money. ” His pickup didn ’ t get good gas mileage before it was modified. Now, with a 10 ” lift kit and oversized tires, the mileage had hit single digits. Parking at the local Walmart was no longer an easy task. 
 
 The female Angela, clearly his mate, stops long enough to drop in a “ yes dear ”. Sensing the pause she starts up the conversation again. “ Did you hear about pastor Dan, the one who got kicked out of our church. He still refuses to say that gay people are going to burn in hell. It was his daughter ya ’ know. She is a gay. Well, he found a new church just outside of town. It ’ s a shame to see him hafta leave. ” Pausing, as if in thought, she blurts outs. ” It must be tough running a church on the poor side of town. Watching all those colored folk drive up in their Escalades wearing expensive clothes. And knowing, just knowing in your heart that every single one of them is on welfare and likely selling drugs. ” Shaking her head in disgust she gets back to grazing. 
 
 The older of the children, Stacey, jumps into the conversation now. “ Mom, did you hear about Jennifer Jones? Apparently, the week after her abstinence meetings she was caught at the abortion clinic. Her moms best friend Suzanne, was out there picketing. She had that sign she brought over a few weeks ago. The one with the picture of a dead baby on it. You ’ know, the one you liked so much. Anyway, so Jennifer is trying to sneak her way up to the door and she hears her name being called out. In horror she freezes then runs toward the door. Apparently Suzanne stopped her at the door and wouldn ’ t let her go in. She pulled out her phone to call Staceys ’ mom. Well, Stacey freaks out and runs, only to get hit by a car pulling out of the next door parking lot. She wasn ’ t hurt too bad. But, it serves her right going against the lords will an ’ all.'' 
 
 Tired of the gossip, little Billy John chimes in. “ Dad, Dad, guess what… ” Dad looks over, “ whats up BJ? ” Billy is excited to have his turn and starts of fast before settling into a reasonable pace. `` Dad, Dad, so at school today I got to correct two different teachers. First, we were in science class and Mr Steale was talking about evolution. Halfway through I shouted out a question about why we had to learn this stuff if it wasn ’ t true. The whole class laughed. Mr Steale even tried to convince me that it was true. But the trick was on him, I wasn ’ t even listening. ” The big male chortled as he kept on grazing. Billy now feeling like he has done well goes onto the next story. “ Then, in my politics class, Mr James was talking about the difference between a minimum wage and living wage. I shouted out that neither would do any good because poor people didn ’ t want to work anyway. My buddies laughed at that one but, Mr Smith didn ’ t, I got detention again. ” At this Angela jumped in “ I don ’ t know why those teachers are messing with you again. Its not like what you are saying isn ’ t true. I will call your principle again tomorrow and straighten things out. Jimbo, can you help me talk to these people again? ” 
 
 Sensing the impending argument, Jimbo deftly dodges it. “ Sorry hon, cant tomorrow, when I turn back into a human again I need to cash out our saving and buy more gold. Ya ’ know the end is coming. Any day now. ”
