“Then they stabbed me in the side with a spear to make sure I was dead, and all this blood and water ran out…but it was worth it. It was totally worth it. Now I need to have a serious talk with Peter.”

“I swear, you could not tell James and me apart! Even Mom has trouble sometimes. I’m glad he was able to watch things for me when I went away for the weekend. Where is he, by the way?”

Mary’s about religion – Martha’s into science. She knows why the bread rises, but they won’t listen. Same problem, different millennium.
