The Peacock 1851

Jesus sprinkles in salt, pepper, and another spice, I suspect cumin or coriander, then another, and another, then fastens the lid and turns on the blender. "did you have hummus back in the day?" I ask his mother, not sure how to frame the question tactfully.. "You used to make hummus, right?" says Jesus. "You already know", she says with a tincture of exasperation, then to me says, "How would you like to raise a child knowing but refusing to accept that he also happens to be God?" "I imagine he would have been a challenge", say I , smiling mischievously at our Lord, who simply operates with a wide grin on his face the blender.    He doesn't appear to have heard us over the loud electronic whine from the blender.  When it is done he says, "There weren't a lot of options back in the day.  They didn't have a lot in the way of birth control."
