It’s always nice to have some quiet time with our children. We may learn a lot about them, especially if we pay attention to what they have to say and read between the lines.

A man learned this all too well when he started listening carefully to his young daughter’s prayers. It was a beautiful moment in his eyes, but then things started to change in a strange and frightening way.

One of the best things about a joke is the fact that it often has an unexpected and humorous ending. This joke also has such an ending, but it has a story that keeps you riveted.

A father puts his 3-year-old daughter to bed.

His daughter wanted to say a prayer before sleeping, so the father listened. “God bless mommy, God bless daddy, God bless Grandma, Goodbye Grandpa”

The father asked, “Why did you say goodbye Grandpa?”

The little girl said, “I don’t know, it just seemed like the right thing to say.”

The next morning, the family received news that the grandfather had indeed died. The father thought that it was just a very lucky coincidence.

A few months later, he tucked her daughter into bed, and she said a prayer. “God bless mommy, God bless daddy, goodbye grandma.” And of course, the next day, the grandmother died.

The father realized that his daughter could predict the family deaths and that this was no coincidence.

A few weeks later, he tucked his daughter into bed, and her prayer went, “God bless mommy and goodbye daddy.”

Her father went into shock. He stayed up all night waiting for the worst, and then sunrise came. He decided to just stay at work the entire day to be safe. He stayed at his office until midnight came. When it did, nothing happened.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

When he came home, his wife asked why he was home so late. “I had the worst day of my life.” said the father.

“If you think your day was hard, you won’t believe what happened to me, my boss died in the middle of a meeting!”
