My Daughter Is a Sinner

Toad

  A startling dream woke me from my slumber. My mother scolded me for failing as a mother, and for allowing my kids to grow up the way they did. She was a much more determined woman when it came to faith, which is what I admired the most about her.  I sat up and clasped my palms together, letting my thoughts wander. I prayed that He would give us forgiveness and security, for my family and I.  After my prayer session I took a glance at a picture by my bedside. 

"I miss you, Ben."

  I stood up to check on my sleeping children, although with each passing day they seemed to stop being children and were becoming young adults. 

As I walked up to my daughter's room I noticed a bag from a jewellery shop by her desk. Inside was a box which held a beautiful necklace with a small yet bright diamond. It wasn't me who bought this, and her allowance had run out recently. The price tag, I noticed, was far too expensive for my daughter to have bought.

"Did she steal this?" I whispered to myself. I opened her first drawer to verify and noticed that it held many pieces of paper some with writings, others with drawings. "She really should clean out her trash." I opened the second drawer and closed the first one, this one was her underwear drawer. As a child, I always hid my secrets here, the best hiding spot was here, or so I thought as a child.

Beneath all the underwear I found something I would have never believed my daughter would possess, a thong.

" That harlot!" I thought. "Has she been fornicating? She always was such a perfect child... Maybe I'm making things up, yeah. That's probably it."

I walked back to my bed and fell asleep with the necklace and thong safely in my drawer.

An inheritance gained hastily, in the beginning, will not be blessed in the end.
