"Scholars say that Christ was probably born in April," he informed me in all seriousness, "And, yet, we celebrate his birthday in December. Do you know why that is?"
I smiled. "They wanted to keep the pagans happy," I answered, "so they moved it to coincide with their festivals."
He gave me a grin. "Ah, an informed Christian!"
I bit my lip and only smiled in return. I felt it best to be polite.
"You must be an Episcopalian."
I shook my head, smiled, and said, "I'm sorry, but no, I'm not."
His face darkened. "Oh," and off he went.
Sheesh.
