That is so sad.

A teacher from
Primary School asks her students to write an essay about what they would
like God to do for them...
At the end of the day while marking the essays, she read one
that made her very emotional.
Her husband, that had just walked in saw her crying and
asked her:
- What happened?
She answered
- Read this. It's one of my student's essays.
Oh God, tonight I ask you something very special: Make me
into a television.
I want to take its place. Live like the TV in my house. Have
my own special place, and have my family around ME . To be taken
seriously when I talk....
I want to be the centre of attention and be heard without interruptions
or questions. I want to receive the same special care that the TV
receives when
it is not working. Have the company of my dad when he arrives home from
work, even when he is tired. And I want my mom to want me when she is sad
and upset,
instead of ignoring me... And... I want my brothers to fight to be with
me... I want to feel that family just leaves everything aside, every now
and then,
just to spend some time with me. And last but not least make it that I
can make them all happy and entertain them...
Lord I don't ask you for much... I just want to live like
every TV.
At that moment the husband said:
- 'My goodness, poor kid. What horrible parents!
She looked up at him and said:
- 'That essay is our son's!!!
Makes you think doesn't it?????
The same can be said about the computer and the
telephone!!!
