"Have fun boys but don't sin."

 Is this good advice if you don't believe in Hell?

The concept of Hell is nonsense!

I don't.

Though, I have been told that I will be going there. Fortunately, the people who told me this are imbeciles.*

I'm expecting a grandchild to arrive in about April next year. I will adopt the name Grandad Rich. I've looked up the Grandad Task Sheet and have learnt that my job description is rather simple:

• Love this child to the extreme.
• Cuddle it lots and tell it silly old man stories.
• Reinforce simple truths to help it become a well rounded person.
• Teach it kindness, acceptance and understanding.
• Teach it to love itself.
• Keep it well clear of the fears and guilt brought on by silly old religion.

I feel pretty well ready and am looking forward to the loving bit.

Unfortunately, I think I'm only going to be around for the first part of this new person's life. That's okay, I'll just have to do my job extra well because I will be helping mum and dad to set the foundations - along with Grandma and others.

I CERTAINLY will not be mentioning sin! 

That's for damn sure.

I'm off to cook tea now.

Ciao tutti.
