"Look what I found, granpa! It's a kitty!"

"Yes it is, dear. And it's a black one. Did you know that back in my day, people thought those were bad luck?"

"Really?"

"It's true. We believed all kinds of things back then. Like that we'd never see a war on our own soil. Like the march of progress, and world peace, and freedom and dignity and grace and redemption and a loving God..."

"That too, yes."

"That's silly."

"I know. There's just as much good eating on them as on the tabby ones."
