'The News from Lake Wobegon'

The NBFs finally wash their sheets. 14-year old Lois Tolerude took first communion at Confirmation Sunday at LW Lutheran. All of the Tolerudes gathered afterwards. Lois is shy and so she didn't tell them that she might have lost her faith. She thought about her loss of faith, especially when her mother brought in the confirmation cake with a long verse. On Friday night, she watched a gruesome TV program about a world controlled by dark forces. She went for a walk and saw a man standing beside a white car whom she knew was evil. She tripped and said, "Please don't do it." This surprised GK, her godfather. He remembered her young Aunt Lois, who was fun because she was near to GK's age. They used to make up stories. He told Lois that this was where the scout troop used to camp and where Einer Tingvolt got so mad once that he threw away his binoculars. Actually he stopped because he had too much coffee.
