Johnny’s Prayer
Johnny
had been misbehaving and was sent to his room. After a while he emerged
and informed his mother that he had thought it over and then said a
prayer.
“Fine,” said the pleased mother. “If you ask God to help you not misbehave, He will help you.”
“Oh, I didn’t ask Him to help me not misbehave,” said Johnny. “I asked Him to help you put up with me.”
A rabbi said to a precocious six-year-old boy: “So your mother says your prayers for you each night? Very commendable. What does she say?”
The little boy replied, “Thank God he’s in bed!”
