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 students essays.
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 centre 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"
