Goodbye

[yonkyu]

A father put his three year old daughter to bed, told her a story and listened to her prayers which ended by saying "God bless mommy, God bless daddy, God bless grandma and good-bye grandpa".

The father asked "Why did you say good-bye grandpa?" The little girl said "I don't know daddy, it just seemed like the thing to do". The next day grandpa died. The father thought it was a strange coincidence.

A few months later the father put the girl to bed and listened to her prayers which went like this "God bless mommy, God bless daddy and good-bye grandma". The next day the grandmother died. "Holy crap" thought the father "this kid is in contact with the other side".

Several weeks later when the girl was going to bed the dad heard her say "God bless mommy and good-bye daddy".

He practically went into shock. He couldn't sleep all night and got up at the crack of dawn to go to his office. He was nervous as a cat all day, had lunch and watched the clock. He figured if he could get by until midnight he would be okay. He felt safe in the office so instead of going home at the end of the day he stayed there, drinking coffee, looking at his watch and jumping at every sound. Finally midnight arrived. He breathed a sigh of relief and went home.

When he got home his wife said "I've never seen you work so late. What's the matter?" He said "I don't want to talk about it. I've just had the worst day of my life". She said "You think you had a bad day? You'll never believe what happened to me! This morning my golf instructor dropped dead in the middle of my lesson!"

Didn't we have this joke fairly recently? It sounds very familiar.

If by recently you mean July last year...

Somewhat spookily, there was an episode last year when my son woke up in the middle of the night, crying. My wife went to comfort him and he started speaking about his great-grandmother, my gran. He'd visited her in India a few months previously but hadn't really spoken about her before now.

Next morning we get a call from my mum saying that my gran had died during the night.

Cue music...

TBH, I still get kinda freaked out when I think about it...

That's recent!

You want a refund?

Tell you what, write down why you want it on the back of a twenty dollar bill, send it to me and I'll review it for consideration.
