"Pray For Me!"
One Sunday a young child was "acting up" during the
morning worship hour. The parents did their best to
maintain some sense of order in the pew but were
losing the battle. Finally, the father picked the little
fellow up and walked sternly up the aisle on his way
out.
Just before reaching the safety of the foyer, the little
one called loudly to the congregation, "Pray for me!
Pray for me!"

"Monica"
A man observed a woman in the grocery store with a
three year old girl in her basket. As they passed the
cookie section, the little girl asked for cookies and her
mother told her no. The little girl immediately began to
whine and fuss, and the mother said quietly, "Now Monica,
we just have half of the aisles left to go through; don't be
upset. It won't be long."
Soon they came to the candy aisle, and the little girl began
to shout for candy. And when told she couldn't have any,
began to cry. The mother said, "There, there, Monica,
don't cry--only two more aisles to go, and then we'll be
checking out."
When they got to the check-out stand, the little girls
immediately began to clamor for gum and burst into a
terrible tantrum upon discovering there'd be no gum
purchased. The mother patiently said, "Monica, we'll be
through this check out stand in 5 minutes and then you
can go home and have a nice nap."
The man followed them out to the parking lot and stopped
the woman to compliment her. "I couldn't help noticing
how patient you were with little Monica," he began.
Whereupon the mother said, "I'm Monica -- my little girl's
name is Tammy."
