At the font, the priest
spluttered,
“You can’t name this child
after a cartoon character.”
(Didn’t he know there were
five Popes and seventeen
saints who bore the name –
or Felix of Cornwall,
who communicated with all
feline creatures?)
I elaborated, demurely.
“His middle name is Culpus
–
for Fortunate Fall.”
