A Three Year Old's Prayer
A father put his three year old daughter to bed, told her a
story and listened to her prayers which she ended by saying
"God bless Mommy, God bless daddy, God bless grandma and
good-bye grandpa."
The father asked, "Why did you say good-bye grandpa?"
The little girl said, "I don't know daddy, it just seemed
like the thing to do."
The next day grandpa died. The father thought it was a strange
coincidence.
A few months later the father put the girl to bed and listened
to her prayers, which went like this: "God bless Mommy,
God Bless daddy and good-bye grandma."
The next day the grandmother died.
"Oh my gosh", thought the father, "this kid
is in contact with the other side!"
Several weeks later when the girl was going to bed the dad
heard her say: "God bless Mommy and goodbye daddy."
He practically went into shock. He couldn't sleep all night
and got up at the crack of dawn to go to his office. He was
nervous as a cat all day, had lunch sent in and watched the
clock. He figured if he could get by until midnight he would
be okay.
He felt safe in the office, so instead of going home at the
end of the day he stayed there, drinking coffee, looking at
his watch and jumping at every sound. Finally midnight arrived,
he breathed a sigh of relief and went home.
When he got home his wife said, "I've never seen you work
so late. What's the matter?"
He said "I don't want to talk about it, I've just spent
the worst day of my life."
She said, "You think you had a bad day -- you'll never
believe what happened to me. This morning the milkman dropped
dead on our porch."
