"Thank God that's over!"

I often ponder God in all of this. Not from a doubtful position, just from a "Gee whiz" kind of innocence.
I've been guilty of using Mary and Jesus as an example when trying to explain, yet again, why you should just do what your parents asked. (this is with DD11, who is 'attached' but still troubled by unknown causes)
"Jesus, would you take out the trash?"
"Sure mom!"
"Jesus, T R A S H!"
"Got it!"
Mary looks out the kitchen window and sees the trash camel ambling away, then notices the garbage pail in her kitchen.
"Jesus, did you take the trash out?"
"Sure mom, just did it."
I have a hard time seeing Mary scolding Jesus, or trying to explain why he should have done as he was asked, or just said "Sorry mom, don't feel like doing it!" or even "Yo, witch, take the danged trash out yourself."
Privately, hubby and I laugh about Mary's possible reactions to a RAD Jesus, who technically could have some attachment issues. You know, he never knew his real father, and this strange man adopted him....
Anyway, could you hear Mary.... "Jesus, don't make me call your Father!"
I'm hoping I'm not struck by an Old Testament bolt of lightning, but I believe God doesn't mind a little levity at his expense in all of this trauma drama.
