Not so fast! The pathetic "I hope one of my kids calls me on my birthday" schtick is mine. Let me try on this 'God' persona for a bit. I might like it.
<Gazes into a mirror, trying different voices> "You will love me as I love you or . . . I'll . . ." <shakes fist impotently> ". . . I'll damn you and smite you!
*sigh* Perhaps this god thing really isn't my bag. I love my kids way too much for that shit.
Oh well, now I feel like reading about a petulant tyrant of a father. <considers the Bible but picks up "King Lear" instead. shrugs>
Better writer.
