A recent email Last week, I took my grandchildren to a restaurant. My six-year-old grand- 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, today don't even know how to pray. Asking God for ice cream! Why, I never!" Hearing this, my grand- 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- and said..."I happen to know that God thought that was a great prayer." "Really?" my grand- 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- ice cream at the end of the meal. My grand- 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 a__, you grouchy old b*tch! " Touches the heart doesn't it? GBU all, Gavin GREETINGS EARTHLINGS! I COME IN PEACE! TAKE ME TO YOUR LEADER. Klatu, baraba nicto. |

Interesting language for a six-year-old. If I had ever said anything like that, even at age 30, my mother would have killed me.

Is this an example of a Christian influence?

This is just a story, and in all probability not true at all. I've seen it a number of times with a different location, and different words spoken by the boy. Believe only what you see and hear yourself, and not everything you see/read on the internet.

LOL plmsud.... We used to frequent a very nice little neighbourhood restaurant. In those days smoking was still allowed but in a segegrated area. When the waitress would ask, "Smoking or non-smoking?", we would reply, "Child free area please."

WE were traveling, from one AF base to another assignment. Tired, hungry, hot and a little upset at having less than three weeks notice to pack up and leave. We stopped at a little cafe in Indiana, "The Cousins", not sure what town, but just over the state line. Our son was 4 at the time, a highly 'energetic' lad. ((read extremely hyperactve, but an unknown issue at the time)) The Cousins smiled at him, gave him a toycar to play with, took our order and soon placed our food before us. It happened that the ajoining table recieved their food at the same time. As we all picked up our forks, our son speaking in a carrying voice yelled "Wait!! We forgot to say Grace!" There were several other tables with customers eating. The restureant came to a halt as all watched the table next to us, our selves and a couple of those already eating bowed their heads and a little 4 year old said grace for all of us. Little guy had a couple of people pat him on the head as they left, a couple of people complimented us on our son. Sonny got a free desert, but Mom and Dad still got the bill to pay lol....minus the charge for the desert. Thanks for the memory GAvin.
