    “Human kids, maybe.”

    Hmm …

    this old miami times article describes the evolution of a mythology in miami, which is as haunting as this story is. it also involves a good man, a woman, and the sea.

    Wombat kids know nothing about gods, not even who can, or cannot kill them.
    A fact of which they are proud.

  4. WJS says:

    @Murasaki: I wouldn’t be quite so sure about that. I would have expected wombats to teach their kids about something so dangerous, like human kids are taught to avoid knives or fire, etc.

  5. Arrkhal says:

    @WJS and Murasaki: Especially given that gods are said to be as thick as midges underground (and anywhere else you may go). A basic “god safety course” would definitely be a mandatory part of primary education for young wombatlings, same as how to deal with bad air, unstable tunnels, etc.

    Hmm, this is starting to sound like the situation surrounding the Miamian La Llorona.
