Little Lucy's Observations

"Little Lucy's Observations"

Little Lucy went out into the garden and saw her
cat Tiddles lying on the ground with its eyes shut
and its legs in the air. She fetched her Dad to look
at Tiddles, and on seeing the cat he said, as gently
as he could, "I'm afraid Tiddles is dead, Lucy."

"So why are his legs sticking up in the air like that,
Daddy?" asked Lucy as she fought back the tears.

At a loss for something to say the father replied,
"Tiddles' legs are pointing straight up in the air so
that it will be easier for Jesus to float down from
heaven above and grab a leg and lift Tiddles up to heaven."

Little Lucy seemed to take her Tiddles death quite
well. However, two days later when her father came
home from work Lucy had tears in her eyes and
said: "Mommy almost died this morning."

Fearing something terrible had happened the father
shook the girl and shouted, "How do you mean Lucy? Tell Daddy!

"Well", mumbled Lucy, "soon after you left for work this
morning I saw mommy lying on the floor with her legs
in the air and she was shouting, "Oh Jesus!!! I'm coming,
I'm coming!!!" and if it hadn't been for the milkman holding
her down she would definitely have gone, Daddy."
