“So…what did you give up for lent?”
It’s Tuesday morning and Jo and Mary are in the kitchen. Jo, baking muffins. Mary, reading Jesus’s latest blog post. This question has her looking up-in concern–from her phone.
“You’re giving up something for lent?! Where are we, 700 BC??”
“I…think you know any person existing in 700 BC wasn’t observing lent.”
“Whatever!! Lent? Really Jo? C’mon, that BS upkeeps guilt and fear so that people stay loyal to, and dependent on, the dogma and heinous patriarchy of Catholicism.”
[Silence]
“Sigh. Okay, I’ll bite. What are you giving up for lent?”
“I’m giving up TikTok. I don’t get it anyway! Gen Zs are a whole different species of human. And that way I’ll have more time to put toward my carpentry. The carpentry I want to do. And…always a bonus if it gives me more time to focus on you.”
“Okay…that’s cute. And sweet.”
[More silence]
“Ugh okay okay! Maybe I’ll give up…hm…no you know what? I’m not giving up anything. I’m going to pay attention more to what brings me pleasure.”
“Ooooh spicy. I like that. Will you give me pleasure reports every night?”
“Well yeah, especially because you’ll have more time to focus on me…which brings me pleasure…”
“You know, I have some time right now to focus on you…and your pleasure…”
Eventually the oven timer goes off but no one hears it.
And that evening, Mary adds “slightly burnt muffins” to her pleasure report.
