father put his three-year-old daughter to bed, told her
a story, and listened to her say her prayers, which she
ended by saying
"God bless mommy, God bless daddy,
God bless grandma, and good-bye grandpa.
Father said, "Why did you say good-bye grandpa?"
The little girl said, "I don't know, daddy. It just seemed
like the thing to do."
The next day grandpa died. Father thought it was a
strange coincidence.
A few months later, the father put the girl to bed and
listened to her prayers, which went like this: "God bless
mommy, God bless daddy and good-bye grandma."
The next day the grandmother died.
"My gosh," thought the father, "this kid is in contact with
the other side."
Several weeks later when the girl was going to bed, the
dad heard her say "God bless mommy and good-bye
daddy.
He practically went into shock. He couldn't sleep all
night and got up at the crack of dawn to go to his office.
He was nervous as a cat all day, had lunch sent in, and
watched the clock. He figured if he could get by until
midnight he would be OK. He felt safe in the office, so
instead of going home at the end of the day he stayed
there, drinking coffee, looking at his watch, and jumping
at every sound.
Finally midnight arrived. He breathed a sigh of relief and
went home.
When he got home, his wife said, "I've never seen you
work so late. What's the matter?
He said, "I don't want to talk about it. I've just spent the
worst day of my life.
She said, "You think you had a bad day. You'll never
believe what happened to me. This morning the
mailman dropped dead on our porch.
