Father’s Superstitions Heightened as Daughter Bids Him Farewell

In our modern era, far removed from a time when the majority embraced the notion of a magical world order, a vestige of ancestral superstitions still lingers within us. Whenever peculiar events occur in our midst, our thoughts instinctively delve into that shadowy recess of our minds, where we entertain the extraordinary. Nowhere does this phenomenon manifest more prominently than in our contemplation of death—a subject that continues to evoke fear and foster belief in even the most rational individuals. Consider, for instance, the father in this anecdote, a man of logic who found himself entertaining the notion that his daughter possessed extraordinary abilities.

A father put his 3-year-old daughter to bed, told her a story and listened to her prayers which ended by saying, “God bless Mommy, God bless Daddy, God bless Grandma and goodbye Grandpa.”

The father asked, ‘Why did you say good-bye Grandpa?’

The little girl said, “I don’t know daddy, it just seemed like the thing to do.” The next day grandpa died. The father thought it was a strange coincidence.

A few months later the father put the girl to bed and listened to her prayers, “God bless Mommy, God Bless Daddy and goodbye Grandma.” The next day the grandmother died.

“Holy crap” thought the father, “this kid is in contact with the other side.”

Several weeks later when the girl was going to bed the dad heard her say, “God bless Mommy and goodbye Daddy.”

He practically went into shock. He couldn’t sleep all night and got up at the crack of dawn to go to his office. He was nervous as a cat all day, had lunch and watched the clock. He figured if he could get by until midnight he would be okay. He felt safe in the office, so instead of going home at the end of the day he stayed there, drinking coffee, looking at his watch and jumping at every sound. Finally midnight arrived; he breathed a sigh of relief and went home.

When he got home his wife said, “I’ve never seen you work so late. What’s the matter?” He said, “I don’t want to talk about it, I just had the worst day of my life.” She said, “You think you had a bad day? You’ll never believe what happened to me. This morning the mailman dropped dead on our porch!”

Please be sure to share this joke with your friends and family.
