Little Boy's Prayer

A little boy who said his prayers every night would say,
"God bless Mommy, God bless Daddy, God bless the cat,
and God bless the dog." 

Well, one day the little boy was playing with the dog,
and the dog bit him. That night when he said his prayers,
he said, "God bless Mommy, God bless Daddy, God bless the cat,
and I don't care what happens to the dog."
The next morning when they woke up, they found the dog--dead. 

A few days later, the little boy was playing with the cat,
and the cat scratched him. That night when he said his prayers,
he said, "God bless Mommy, God bless Daddy, and I don't care
what happens to the cat."
The next morning when they woke up, they found the cat--dead. 

A few days later, the little boy got in trouble with his Daddy.
That night when he said his prayers, he said, "God bless Mommy, 
and I don't care what happens to Daddy." 

Well, Daddy had heard the little boy's prayers every night and
remembered what had happened to the dog and the cat.
So, that night, Daddy stayed up until the wee hours of the morning,
determined that he would fend off anything that tried to kill him.
Finally, he gave up and went to bed. He awoke the next morning,
feeling grateful that nothing happened to him and went to retrieve
the morning paper and the fresh milk bottle. When he opened the
front door; however, he found the milk man--dead.
