JOTD: Grandpa's & Ice Cream


Bad Bowtie2

This is for all the grandmothers & grandfathers out there. Last week, I took my grandchildren to a restaurant.

 

My six-year-old grand-son asked if he could say grace.

 

As we bowed our heads he said, "God is good, God is great. Thank you for the food, and I would even thank you more if Grandpa gets us ice cream for dessert. And liberty and justice for all! Amen!"

 

Along with the laughter from the other customers nearby, I heard a woman remark,"That's what's wrong with this country. Kids today don't even know how to pray. Asking God for ice cream! Why, I never!"

 

Hearing this, my grand-son burst into tears and asked me, "Did I do it wrong? Is God mad at me?"

 

As I held him and assured him that he had done a terrific job, and God was certainly not mad at him, an elderly gentleman approached the table.

 

He winked at my grand-son and said, "I happen to know that God thought that was a great prayer."

 

"Really?" my grand-son asked.

 

"Cross my heart," the man replied.

 

Then, in a theatrical whisper, he added (indicating the woman whose remark had started this whole thing),

 

"Too bad she never asks God for ice cream. A little ice cream is good for the soul sometimes."

 

Naturally, I bought my grand-children ice cream at the end of the meal. My grand-son stared at his for a moment, and then did something I will remember the rest of my life.

 

He picked up his sundae and, without a word, walked over and placed it in

front of the woman.

 

With a big smile he told her, "Here, this is for you. Shove it up your butt you grouchy old witch! "

 

 

Touches the heart doesn't it? :rollin:
