The blaring phone awakened Chris, who was splayed on the kitchen floor like unlucky roadkill up in the Canyon. The open bottle of Tequila was still at his feet.
It was Zina calling. "Chris, Maddy is having the child." Everyone at the Yoga Shala called the unborn baby, " the child", as in the Christ Child or Child of Reincarnation.
Chris shrugged and fell back onto the floor, dropping the phone. "It's not mine. It's the Child of God, of Krishna of Moses. I've been had by that wicked Yoga witch", he screamed into the air.

This whole subplot about Maddy the yoga witch just fascinates me. I love this little scene. I love the way the people at Yoga Shala call the baby 'the child.' And I love Chris' reaction. Always fabulous when characters display some bad behavior & make a scene.
