Last week, I took my grandchildren to a restaurant.

My eight-year-old grandson asked if he could say grace.

As we bowed our heads he said, "God is good, God is great. Thank you for the food, and I would thank you even more if Grandpa gets us ice cream for dessert. And liberty and justice for all! Amen!"

Along with the laughter from the other customers nearby, I heard a woman remark, "That's what's wrong with parenting these days. Kids today don't even know how to pray. Asking God for ice cream! Why I never!"

Hearing this, my grandson burst into tears and asked me, "Did I do it wrong? Is God mad at me?"

So after I assured him that he had done a terrific job and that God was certainly not mad at him, an elderly gentleman approached the table.

He winked at my grandson and said, "I happen to know that God thought that was a great prayer."

"Really?" my grandson asked.

"Cross my heart," the man replied.
Then, in a theatrical whisper, he added (indicating the woman whose remark had started this whole thing), "Too bad she never asks God for ice cream. A little ice cream is sometimes good for the soul."

Naturally, I bought my grandchildren ice cream at the end of the meal. My grandson stared at his ice cream for a moment, and then he did something I will remember the rest of my life.

He picked up his sundae and, without a word, walked over and placed it in front of the woman.

With a big smile he told her:
"Here, this is for you. Shove it up your ass, you grouchy old b***h!"

Kind of brings tears to your eyes, doesn't it?

I love this. Thank you for cheering me up. I adore my grandson. I can't see him doing this. But the fantasy I absolutely love. It brought bunches of smiles to me this rainy morning in Oakland.

Glad it brought a smile to you but I will swap our snow for your rain as rain is what we usually get here in Oregon and lots of it but not much snow.

I agree as I haven't laughed this hard since Trump was elected and I watched the lib's go overboard.

You mean it's not raining? That's what I thought it did for all but about 7 days in Oregon. We are decorating the family tree this Saturday. At my son and daughter-in-law's house and when my daughter visits later this month, she and I will buy a tree for the first time in years. I look forward to using my grandmother's old European ornaments. Hand painted thin beautiful globes. And tinsel. The whole thing. My daughter-in-law feels really strongly against tinsel. I have such great memories of sitting in our living room after turning the tree lights on. Just being by myself. This was in NYC. So it was snowing and very, very cold. I should NOT complain about the weather, but I've lost all my antidotes to the cold by now. A picture of my grandson with a friend's daughter. He is so adorable. To me.
