A teacher from Primary School asks her students to write a essay about

What they would like God to do for them...

At the end of the day while marking the essays, she read one that made

Her very emotional. Her husband, that had just walked in saw her crying and

asked her:

 

- What happened?

 

She answered

 

- Read this. It's one of my students essays

 

Oh God, tonight I ask you something very special: Make me into a

television. I want to take its place. Live like the TV in my house. Have

my own special place, And have my family around ME. To be taken seriously

when I talk.... I want to be the centre of attention and be heard without

interruptions or questions. I want to receive the same special care that

the TV receives when it is not working. Have the company of my dad when

he arrives home from work, even when he is tired. And I want my mom to want

me when she is sad and upset, instead of ignoring me... And... I want my

brothers to fight to be with me... I want to feel that family just

leaves everything aside, every now and then, just to spend some time with me.

And last but not least make it that I can make them all happy and entertain

them...

 

 Lord I don't ask you for much... I just want to live like every TV

 

 

 

At that moment the husband said:

 

- 'My God, poor kid. What horrible parents!

 

She looked up at him and said:

 

- 'That essay is our son's!!!

 

 

 Makes you think doesn't it?????
