The anti-christ and the end of the world
Last night, I went to my parents' house to eat dinner. My brother was coming up and usually when that happens, my father tries to gather as many of chikadees as he can to himself, so I came over too.
When I was going over there, I told Nancy that "for some reason, the bosses invited me over for dinner...I don't know why they keep doing that, they must like how I get along with their kids or something..." and she called me a brown noser and said she was going to bring me a box of tissues. And this morning she did. Hahahaha.
Anyway, my dad and brother started to talk about some theory, something about the Bible Code or soemthing. MY dad said to Gina, "you know the world is going to end December 21st, 2012." She says "it is not!" He says "it is too, it's in the Bible, they proved it." Nick says "yeah they proved that you can pull that kind of prediction out of anmy book, not just the bible." "But the probability isn't the same. There's a higher probability using the Bible than any other book."
So then there arguing over probablility and algorithims and Gina is contemplating all of this, and then she says "Is the world really going to end in 2012?"
"Yes," says my dad with a poker face.
"HOW?"
"Well there's a couple of theories...one's about a black hole and the other is that we'll get too close ot the sun and combust."
"But what will happen if there's a black hole? We'll get sucked into it?"
"Exactly, and we'll all be stretched into pieces and go floating off into space."
Poor little Gina. Her sweet little face was so upset and you can almost hear the gears grinding in her head as she searched for bits of knowledge to refute what my dad was saying.
"Does it actually say in the Bible, like in Revelations or where ever, that the world IS going to END on DECEMBER 21st, 2012?"
"It doesn't say exactly, but there's this thing called Bible code..." and he begins to explain to her what that is.
Then I chime in, "they don't teach you that in CCD, because they don't teach you the real Bible, it's the Catholic Bible..."
"But the world can't end in 2012!"
"Why not?"
"I won't even be graduated from high school yet!"
Awwwww, haha. She is going to have major nightmares now. The final declaration she made upon the subject was to say to my dad "I'm asking Mommy."
If mommy says it is NOT true, then it is definitely NOT true.
When Marina got back from taking Lainie to dance class, gina says "Mom! Is the world going to end December 21st, 2012?"
MArina of course is like "no no no..."
In the middle of us eating, Gina says again, "no really, is the world going to end in 2012?"
My dad and my brother nad I all start cracking up, while Rina goes "yeah thanks Bob, haha, very funny."
Then we also engaged in a discussion over Hilary Clinton being the anti-christ. That was fun!
