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, who had just walked in, saw her
crying and asked her 'What happened?'
She answered "Read this. It is one of my students'
essay."
"Oh God, tonight I ask you something very special.
Make me into a television. I want to take its place
and 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 theTV receives
even 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, ensure that I
can make them all happy and entertain them. Lord
I don't ask you for much. I just want to live like a
TV."
At that moment the husband said 'My God, poor
kid. What horrible parents!'
The wife looked up at him and said, "That essay is
our son's"
