My six-year-old grandson asked if he could say grace. As we bowed our heads he said, \u201cGod is good, God is great.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for the food, and I would even thank you more if Grandpa gets us ice cream for dessert. And liberty and justice for all! Amen!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Along with the laughter from the other customers nearby, I heard a woman remark, \u201cThat\u2019s what\u2019s wrong with this country.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Kids today don\u2019t even know how to pray. Asking God for ice cream! Why, I never!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Hearing this, my grand-son burst into tears and asked me, \u201cDid I do it wrong?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Is God mad at me?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As I held him and assured him that he had done a terrific job, and God was certainly not mad at him an elderly gentleman approached the table. He winked at my grand-son and said, \u201cI happen to know that God thought that was a great prayer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cReally?\u201d my grand-son asked. \u201cCross my heart,\u201d the man replied.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Then, in a theatrical whisper, he added (indicating the woman whose remark had started this whole thing), \u201cToo bad she never asks God for ice cream. A little ice cream is good for the soul sometimes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Naturally, I bought my grand-children ice cream at the end of the meal. My grand-son stared at his for a moment, and then did something I will remember the rest of my life.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>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, \u201cHere, this is for you. Shove it up your ass you grouchy old b*tch!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Touches the heart doesn\u2019t it? Bet you didn\u2019t see that coming!!!!! ===================================<\/p>\n<p>Have you ever wondered what the difference between Grandmothers and Grandfathers is?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Well here is the answer:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A friend, who worked away from home all week, always made a special effort with his family on the weekends. Every Sunday morning he would take his 7\u2014year old granddaughter out for a drive in the car for some bonding time, just him and his granddaughter. One particular Sunday however, he had a bad cold and really didn\u2019t feel like being up at all.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Luckily, his wife came to the rescue and said that she would take their granddaughter out. When they returned, the little girl anxiously ran upstairs to see her Grandfather. \u201cWell, did you enjoy your ride with grandma?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOh yes, Papa\u201d the girl replied, \u201cand do you know what?<\/p>\n<p>We didn\u2019t see a single a\u2014\u2014hole, stupid basta\u2014\u2014, or dumb sh\u2014\u2014 anywhere we went today!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is for all the grandfathers out there. &nbsp; &nbsp; Last week, I took my grandchildren to a restaurant.
