Hocus Pocus
by Peggy Drinkard
According to a news report on Yahoo,Tuesday morning a family was having breakfast and mom was serving up the pancakes when, lo and behold, she realized that there was an image of Jesus and Mary right there in the browned parts of one of the pancakes! Yahoo had a photo of said pancake…I guess if you use some imagination your could see it….kind of. The daughter of the family told the news it was a message from God to us (US) that we needed to get our act together. I don’t know about anyone else, but the family got theirs together….they posted the prophetic pancake on EBay and that same morning sold it for $306. (I think that was the price.) Well. I could use $300.00 with Christmas coming up and all…so next morning I treated my boys to a pancake breakfast. I looked and looked…I was kind of hoping for something like an image of a famous Monet or Picasso or something…so I could market it to the arty types…but no luck. The closest I came to ANYTHING was in the center of one of the pancakes….it reminded me a little of those photos you see of human embryos in the early stages….you know, kind of a cross between a shrimp and an alien. Oh well. To the devout among us, let me just say, eat more pancakes. But before you delve in, inspect them…closely.
