'Shirley Goodnest
Posted by: bigguyhereagain <bigguyhereagain@...>
Timmy was a five year old boy. His mother loved him very much. A
worrier, she was concerned when he started kindergarten about his
walking to school. She walked him to school for a couple of days, but
one day he told his mother that he did not want her walking him to
school every day. He wanted to be like the "big boys."
She had an idea how to handle it. She asked a neighbor, Mrs. Goodnest,
to follow her son surreptitiously to school, at a distance that he would
not likely notice, but close enough to keep a watch on him. Mrs.
Goodnest said that since she was up early with her toddler anyway, it
would be a good way for them to get some exercise as well.
The next school day, Mrs. Goodnest and her little girl Marcy set out
behind Timmy as he walked to school with another boy. She did this for
the whole week. As the boys walked and chatted, kicking stones and
twigs, Timmy's friend noticed that a lady was following them every day
all week. Finally, he asked Timmy, "Have you noticed that lady following
us? Do you know her?"
Timmy nonchalantly replied, "Yeah, I know who she is."
That's Shirley Goodnest," Timmy said.
"Shirley Goodnest? Who the heck is she, and why is she following us?"
"Well," Timmy explained, "every night my Mom makes me say the 23rd Psalm
'cuz she worries about me so much. And the Psalm says, 'Shirley Goodnest
and Marcy shall follow me all the days of my life', so I guess I'll just
have to get used to it."

(^_^) Little Johnny's Prayer (^_^)
Johnny had been misbehaving and was sent to his room.
After a while he emerged and informed his mother that
he had thought it over and then said a prayer.
"Fine," said the pleased mother. "If you ask God to help you
not misbehave, He will help you."
"Oh, I didn't ask Him to help me not misbehave," said Johnny.
"I asked Him to help you put up with me."

(^_^) After Church (^_^)
After church one Sunday morning, a mother commented: "The choir was
awful this morning."
The father commented: "The sermon was too long."
Their 7-yr. old daughter added: "You've got to admit it was a pretty
good show for a dime."
