Pretending

He’s the perfect husband: “Married life with him is wonderful. He doesn’t fight with me. He doesn’t argue and he just understands me.”

“He” is Marcelo, a rag doll that was made for Meirivone Rocha Moraes, by her mother after the 37 yr old complained about being single. And to pile on to the Brazilian woman’s joy, just months later, she found herself delivering Marcelo’s rag baby. Not wanting to have a child out of wedlock, Marcelo and Meirivone were joined in holy matrimony before 250 guests and spent their honeymoon week in Rio de Janeiro, then returned to await the arrival of Marcelinho.

You can pretend to have a husband, you can pretend to have a baby just like you can pretend to be a Christian. But some day there will be a day of truth. On that day, pretend won’t help … only the real thing.
