Oh, stop. When will you be home tonight?

Usual time. What's for dinner?

I thought we'd head over to the western side of the river and join the Thebans in the Valley festival.

You think they'll bring those ducks to barbecue again this year?

I hope so. They were delicious.

Can I come too?

Only if your father gets home early enough. You know you have early school in the morning.

But I did all my homework already!

Ask your father.

Ooo! I'll bring my credit card.

Just one?

I'm only letting her bring one. I know how you three get when you go shopping.

No kidding, brother. I'm still paying off last year's balance.

I didn't buy that many things.

No, but you always insist on the most expensive things.

Only the best for my girls!

At Isheru? Yes. What's up?

I heard there was another plague on the north side of town.

That's no good. Lots of kids live there.

I know. Want to come with me?

Yes. Let's drive those sick demons out.

You two need help?

We're in if you want company.

Great! Who's bringing the beer?

Are you on the roster?

Roster?

Yes. I have so many people wanting to talk to me now that I asked Thoth to put together an app. All you have to do is sign up, and you'll be given a number and an appointment date.

And then I can talk to you?

Yes. According to the app, I have an opening… six hundred years from now.

But, Your Majesty, I won't be alive then! That's ridiculous.

You think that's bad? Wait until they invent the DMV.

Of course I am. Why are you even asking?

Well, they told us in school today that your name means mother. So I wondered if maybe you were everybody's mother, and not really my mother… just my mother because your name was mother. You know?

I can't even read what you just wrote.

I meant I want to know if you're my mother because you're my mother, not because you're THE mother.

She's not my mother. My mother is Isis.

And Hathor is my mother.

So wait, does that mean Isis is a mother? And what about Hathor? If they're both mothers, are they my mother since my mother is the mother?

I'm a mother, but I'm not Mut.

Except when you are.

Except when I am. After the Romans come around.

And except when you're me, slightly before that.

Mom?

Yes?

This is so confusing!
