Goodbye Daddy

There was once a clairvoyant little boy, who could see into the future.  One night while saying his prayers, the little boy’s parents were listening and heard him finish,”God bless mommy, God bless daddy, God bless grandma, goodbye grandpa.”  The next day his grandfather dropped dead of a heart attack.

A few weeks later, the little boy was praying and his parents were listening,”God bless mommy, God bless daddy, goodbye grandma.”  The next day his grandmother was hit and killed by a bus while crossing the street.

A month or so later, the little boy was praying and said,”God bless mommy, goodbye daddy.”  Naturally his father panicked and he decided he needed to take extra precautions.  He had himself driven, very carefully and slowly, to work by an armed guard in an armored security truck he hired.  However, he couldn’t concentrate because he was thinking about his boy’s prayer,”Goodbye Daddy.”

He finally came home early being extremely careful the entire way.  When he got home, his wife met him at the front door crying and upset.  “Honey the most terrible thing happened today,” she cried. “The mailman died on our doorstep!”
