Sodpoodle,
I saved these with several others contributed by you, taking it on Faith that you shared these as well. They still bring a smile when read :-)
If not you, I apologize to the one who actually shared them.
ALL MEN / ALL GIRLS
When my daughter, Kelli, said her bedtime prayers, she would bless every family member, every friend, and every animal (current and past). For several weeks, after we had finished the nightly prayer, Kelli would say, “And all girls.”
This soon became part of her nightly routine, to include this closing. My curiosity got the best of me and I asked her, “Kelli, why do you always add the part about all girls?”
Her response, “Because everybody always finish their prayers by saying ‘All Men’!”
SAY A PRAYER
Little Johnny and his family were having Sunday dinner at his Grandmother’s house. Everyone was seated around the table as the food was being served. When Little Johnny received his plate, he started eating right away. “Johnny! Please wait until we say our prayer,” said his mother.
“I don’t need to,” the boy replied.
“Of course, you do” his mother insisted. “We always say a prayer before eating at our house.”
“That’s at our house.” Johnny explained. “But this is Grandma’s house and she knows how to cook.”
Once again, thanks for the smiles.
When my brother was old enough to take to Mass without him misbehaving, he looked at the items on and around the altar with glee; he loved all the gold trim and huge candles.
Then he pointed at the crucifix and said “Mom look!” And she replied “Yes, I know, that is Jesus on the cross”. Then my brother stood up, all excited, still pointing and outloud said “I know Mom, but look! His license plate says he’s from Rhode Island!”
He was referring to the ‘INRI’- King of the Jews- placard on the cross. We lived in Rhode Island and had just taught him some license plate games to entertain him in the car.
The entire church laughed and at the time, you just did not LOL in church. Being a mortified teen, I just rolled my eyes and hung my head, completely embarrassed as I pictured the entire high school hearing about this horrible indignity thrust upon me by my stupid little brother!
But now, it always makes me laugh and I still remind him of it every chance I get!
