But this year was different. This year, Jimmy was free from Castiel and appreciated Jacob a lot more, so even though the first holiday after Jimmy's liberation was Father's Day, they invited Uncle Jacob over.
"Don't tell Uncle Jacob about what happened to Daddy, OK?" Amelia said.
"Why not?" Claire asked.
"Because it will just encourage--"
The doorbell rang and Claire ran out of her room to open it before Jimmy.
"Uncle Jacob! Uncle Jacob! Daddy was possessed by an angel named Castiel and he was chained to a comet and he saved the world!"
Jacob looked at Claire, then at Jimmy and Amelia, then back at Claire.
"Angels aren't real," he told her. "It must have been a robots' electromagnetic possession technology. I figure you must have fought it off--the technology is new, so the effects are short-lasting. Especially when it's reaching from the moon."
Claire giggled. Uncle Jacob told the best stories.
