Mary was not happy. Forty parasangs over two days on the back of an ass was the last straw. She glared at Joe as he placed fresh hay in a manger for the kid. A small goat watched and immediately hopped in the manger and pooped.
“Mary, the little asshole shit in Jesus’ bed.”
Busy unpacking the donkey, Mary did not hear Joe.
“What Joe? “
Louder now, “The goat shit in the manger.……… If the big guy gets wind of this I wouldn’t want to be in that goat’s hooves.”
The goat looked up at Mary and bleated.

I enjoyed this flash. It's refreshing to see Mary and Joseph represented so humanly.
