Baby Jesus - Maria Bamford

I haven’t even started!

This is gonna be freaking awesome

Um, so my parents are very religious

So I’ve been leaving them messages on their answering machine from the baby

Jesus.

«Hi everyone, it’s the baby Jesus, and I’ll be out of town for a couple days so

I thought I’d give you a call.»

«Will you stop leaving me those messages?»

What messages?

«The ones from the baby Jesus.»

The baby Jesus is leaving you messages?

You better call him back

«Hi, it’s BJ.

So it seems like we’re pretty funky — if you give me a chance,

give me a jingle-jingle!»

«Honey, come on, it’s creepy.»

«It's the baby Satan — ««Stop it.»

Parents are very supportive

In fact, they will heckle me upon request

I try to get used to it

De-sensitize myself to it

«Honey, you’re not any good, I don’t like it when you’re talking.

You are hurting me with your words.»

«You women are funny.

I didn’t even think you were a woman!

I thought you were

a bowl or a stick.»

hahah

«Yes, sweety, why don’t you shut the f up you stupid c before I snap your neck

in half?»

Jesus, mom.

«Hu — I’m just reading what you wrote down here.»

It still hurts.

So, uh, I’ve been working on impersonations, so see if you can guess who it is.

«Wha — wha — oh, oh.

Wha — What?»

.I'll do it again.

«Uh heh, huh, wha — wha?»

It’s God.

Mostly from the years 1986 through 1994, in my opinion.

I can’t wait until the Atheists get a TV channel together.

«So many friends call in and ask me: How do I testify to those I love about my

lack of faith?

I had a friend who came in;

he lost his home, his job, his family, his appendages

He said, «Okay, I get it there is no God.»

And I said, «Welcome home.»»
