A father put his three year old daughter to bed, 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 said, "Why did you say good-bye grandpa?"
The little girl said "I don't know daddy, it just seemed like the thing
to do."
When the grandpa died on the very next day, the father thought it was
just a strange coincidence.
A few months later the father put the girl to bed and listened to her
prayers: "God bless mommy, God bless daddy and good-bye grandma.
Next day the grandmother died. "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 good-bye daddy."
He practically went into shock. 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 just get
by until midnight he would be okay. He felt very safe in the office, so
instead of going home at the end of the day he stayed there, drinkin
coffee, looking at his watch and jumping at every sound. Finally
midnight arrived, he breathed a sigh of relief and finally 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 mailman dropped dead on our porch."
When I'm an old lady, I'll live with each kid,
And bring so much happiness...just as they did.
I want to pay back all the joy they've provided.
Returning each deed! Oh, they'll be so excited!
(When I'm an old lady and live with my kids)
I'll write on the wall with reds, whites and blues,
And I'll bounce on the furniture...wearing my shoes.
I'll drink from the carton and then leave it out.
I'll stuff all the toilets and oh, how they'll shout!
(When I'm and old lady and live with my kids)
When they're on the phone and just out of reach,
I'll get into things like sugar and bleach.
Oh, they'll snap their fingers and then shake their head,
And when that is done, I'll hide under the bed!
(When I'm an old lady and live with my kids)
When they cook dinner and call me to eat,
I'll not eat my green beans or salad or meat,
I'll gag on my okra, spill milk on the table,
And when they get angry...I'll run...if I'm able!
(When I'm an old lady and live with my kids)
I'll sit close to the TV, through the channels I'll click,
I'll cross both eyes just to see if they stick.
I'll take off my socks and throw one away,
And play in the mud 'til the end of the day!
(When I'm an old lady and live with my kids)
And later in bed, I'll lay back and sigh,
I'll thank God in prayer and then close my eyes.
My kids will look down with a smile slowly creeping,
And say with a groan, "She's so sweet when she's sleeping!"
