Excerpt
SATAN: I thought we decided that you wouldn’t date until you’re forty.
TIFFANY: That’s what you decided.
SATAN: You’re too young.
TIFFANY: I’m sixteen! Why can’t I be like other girls my age?
SATAN: Because you live in a place that’s full of rapists and murderers.
TIFFANY: Danielle’s parents let her date.
SATAN: Danielle’s parents let Jeffrey Dahmer babysit their son.
TIFFANY: I didn’t know Danielle had a brother.
SATAN: She doesn’t…anymore.
TIFFANY: Oh.
SATAN: That’s what happens when your parents are morons…I, however, am a good parent, so you’re not dating until I find you a nice guy who will treat you right.
TIFFANY: But I’ve already found one!
SATAN: Here? I don’t think so. If you really have your heart set on dating, I’d be happy to give Jesus a call.
TIFFANY: Jesus? Ew! He wears socks with sandals, and I’m pretty sure there’s a bird living in his beard.
SATAN: Yes, but Jesus is a big believer in abstinence, so he’s the only guy I’ll even consider letting you date.
