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 student’s essay:
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 center 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!!!
