If it doesn't work, Mom will take her to Church tonight, and she's certain she'll end up making a scene again. Amber's tolerance of willful idiocy is diminishing rapidly, and while building up her memetic immunity might be the real reason Mom's forcing this shit on her-it's always hard to tell with Mom-things have been tense ever since she got expelled from Sunday school for mounting a spirited defense of the theory of evolution.
