Last weekend my eldest showed me that she is... Ordinary.
Or at least not divine.
For, while the wind blew on a sunny Saturday afternoon in Sydney, she tried to stop the breeze.
Without success.
But, the episode got me thinking... What if...
What if the wind did stop?
What if I were the parent of the divine?
What if my offspring were the next Messiah?
How long would it take for me to notice?
What would be the first hint?
Would I tell anyone?
If I did tell someone, would they believe me?
What proof would others want?
Why didn't I get some kind of sign from God earlier?
Would I be tempted to exploit my daughters powers?
Would our wine and food budgets be drastically slashed?
In truth, I was quietly pleased that Hanna left the weather unrebuked, it raises far too many problems.
