atheist story

On a porch swing in the southern summer evening. Mother and daughter have, a "life moment."

"Daughter, um, can we talk about something?"
"Sure what about mom?"
"Well honey its about god."
"God?"
"Yeah you see,*sigh, there comes a time in everyone's life where they learn the truth about god. Now for your father that time has apparently not come yet. I just, he's too old for this. Anyway..."
"Oh wow, so there really is a secret truth about goooood?"
"Uh, no honey a, well sort of. God...is just a story people made up to help rear children, like a tradition."

Mom is smiling a nervous yet convincing smile. Daughter grimaces and puts her elbows on her lap.

"Really?"
"'Fraid so dear."
"Wow, FML"
