Jesus is walking past Heaven's door.
St. Peter is not busy.
Jesus takes St. Peter's place.
"Ask people what they did with their lives," St. Peter says.
The first person is an old man.
"What did you do with your life?" Jesus asks.
"I had a son," the man says.
"That's it?" Jesus says.
"He was not human," the man says.
"Explain," Jesus says.
"He didn't start out human but became one. People loved him."
Jesus has never met Joseph the carpenter. "Father?" he says.
The man reaches for his glasses. "Pinocchio?"
Don't assume.
