December drabbles - 15

“My girlfriend’s pregnant,” said the youth as the church choir went caroling.
“Then you’re a sinner,” said the elder.
“We’re engaged to be married.”
“It’s still a sin.”

“His girlfriend’s pregnant,” said the elder to the priest.
And the choir sang “Come let us adore.”

“We’ll have to throw him out,” said the priest, “or he’ll corrupt the youth.”
But the old man said, “Put it to the vote. Let him who’s without sin cast the first stone.”

“His girlfriend’s pregnant,” was the verdict.
And, “Mary had a baby boy.”

It’s the sick and sinners who receive the greatest gift.
