Zak’s Prayer

Little Zak (just a little scrap of a chap) with a deep Barry White voice enquires(as he enquires about everything) : “Why is your hair white? ” He listens patiently to the explanation how after a head injury “I went white overnight! ” Being a good Christian child he tells me he will pray for me for the “black to be back! ” I’m very tempted to dye it for the next day just to prove his prayer right. when his fervent prayer doesn’t turn the situation around ...he frets. I tell him God & me are both happy with it…like this. “Really? ” He asks. “Really! ” I affirm. “Have it your own way then but man... It makes you look old & grim. I grin tell him that I am but that I can live with it. ******* FROM THE MOUTHS OF BABES I have convinced myself I am not all that fat & believe it with all my 15 stone until a child in class pats my tummy. “Ah, Sir’s gonna have a baby! ” Guess I’ve been told! *******
