One night, a father overheard his son saying his prayers, "God bless
Mommy, Daddy, and Grammy. Good-bye Grampa." The father thought this
was strange, but soon forgot about it. The next day, the Grandfather
died. About a month or so later, the father again heard his son's
prayers,"God bless Mommy and Daddy. Good-bye Grammy." The next day,
the Grandmother died. The father began to worry about the situation.
Two weeks later, the father again heard his son praying, "God bless
Mommy. Good-bye Daddy." This alone nearly gave the father a heart
attack. The next morning, without saying anything, he got up early and
went to work. He stayed in his office all day.
Finally, after midnight, he went home. He was still alive! He crawled
into bed with his wife and apologized. "I'm sorry honey, I had a
really bad day." "You had a bad day?" his wife yelled. "The mailman
dropped dead on the porch this morning!"
