A Primary School teacher asks her
students to write an 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 the TV
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, very 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 Idon’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!’
Primary School teacher looked up at him
and said: ‘That essay is our son’s.
