Little Carol came into the kitchen where her mother was
making dinner.

Her birthday was coming up and she thought this was a good
time to tell her mother what she wanted. 'Mom, I want a bike for my
birthday.'

Now, Little Carol was a bit of a troublemaker. She had
gotten into trouble at school and at home. Carol's mother asked her if
she thought she deserved to get a bike for her birthday. Little Carol,
of course, thought she did.

Carol's mother, being a Christian woman, wanted her to
reflect on her behavior over the last year, and write a letter to God and
tell him why she deserved a bike for her birthday. Little Carol stomped
up the steps to her room and sat down to write God a letter.

LETTER 1:

Dear God:

I have been a very good girl this year and I would like a bike for
my birthday. I want a red one.

Your friend, Carol


Carol knew this wasn't true. She had not been a very
good girl this year, so she tore up the letter and started over.

LETTER 2:

Dear God:

This is your friend Carol. I have been a pretty
good girl this year, and I wouldlike a red bike for my birthday.

Thank you, Carol

Carol knew this wasn't true either. She tore up the letter
and started again.

LETTER 3:

Dear God:
I know I haven't been a good girl this year. I am
very sorry. I will be a good girl if you just send me a red bike for my birthday.

Thank you, Carol

Carol knew, even if it was true, this letter was not going
to get her a bike. By now, she was very upset. She went downstairs
and told her mother she wanted to go to church. Carol's mother thought
her plan had worked because Carol looked very sad.

'Just be home in time for dinner,' her mother
said. Carol walked down the street to the church and up to the
altar. She looked around to see if anyone was there. She picked up a
statue of the Virgin Mary , slipped it under her jacket and ran out of the
church, down the street, into her house, and up to her room. She
shut the door and sat down and wrote her letter to God.

LETTER 4:

I GOT YOUR MAMA.


IF YOU WANT TO SEE HER AGAIN, SEND THE BIKE.


Signed, YOU KNOW WHO

Hahahahahah. Priceless.
