Hark, ye of little faith, for a miracle has occurred this day.
I got home today to my dad excitedly yelling that no one will believe him, that “Virgin Mary has happened in this house!”
Just another Tuesday.
Even if such a claim made sense on this plane of reality, it’s a pretty wild thing to say casually with no context.
My dad dragged me over to the birdcage, where his best friend and ever-loyal bird buddy sat...next to...an egg...
Our bird had, without the assistance of another bird, laid an egg. Our presumably male bird had laid a tiny egg.
Most people would assume that the bird had been a girl the whole time, and that birds must be able to lay eggs without a second bird.
My dad had instead decided that a holy miracle had taken place, and that God had finally decided to perform an impossible feat to prove he exists.
Thus, the shouts of “Virgin Mary Birdy!” made sense. ...made as much sense as such a thing could, at least.

God works in mysterious ways. Mysterious male bird laying fertilized eggs ways, I guess, according to my dad.
