For All Grandfathers

[Oldgrunt]

This is for all the 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 ass you grouchy old *****!"



Touches the heart doesn't it?

That is awesome. Ice cream is a perfect thing to pray for.

Still laughing out loud. Literally, not figuratively! An act of kindness followed by words of truth. What could be better.

I can imagine my grandson doing this.

I bet GOD cracked up when he heard your grandson. I would have lored to havE seen the expression on the old lady's face when your grandson told her she needed the ice cream.

And where, old son, is your sense of humor? This was a joke passed on to me in an email. I know very few people who would think that last line to be true. You have a spelling problem also.

Snagged! Hook, line and sinker! Right up to the last line! Love it!

Lost your sense of humor somewhere, did we? Too bad. If you had a sense of humor, this would be funny!

Smart phones inserting words just don't work.

The reason I said what I said is I don't find disrespectful, undisciplined brats funny. Judging by the kids I see in public apparently many find that acceptable.
