When I look back on things as a child, there were many words and meanings that I got really confused. Sometimes I didn’t know the correct word until I was much older. When you are small, you have a limited vocabulary so you just try to make something fit with a word you already know.
The end result of that can be hilarious when you get older and finally understand what the passage was really supposed to mean. Have a good laugh today as you enjoy this story.
Shirley and Marcy
A mom was concerned about her kindergarten son walking to school.
He didn’t want his mother to walk with him.
She wanted to give him the feeling that he had some independence but
yet know that he was safe. So she had an idea of how to handle it.
She asked a neighbor if she would please follow him to school in the
mornings, staying at a distance, so he probably wouldn’t notice her.
She said that since she was up early with her toddler anyway, it would
be a good way for them to get some exercise as well, so she agreed. The
next school day, the neighbor and her little girl set out following
behind Timmy as he walked to school with another neighbor girl he knew.
She did this for the whole week. As the two walked and chatted,
kicking stones and twigs, Timmy’s little friend noticed the same lady
was following them as she seemed to do every day all week.
Finally she said to Timmy, ‘Have you noticed that lady following us to
school all week? Do you know her?’
Timmy nonchalantly replied, ‘Yeah, I know who she is.’
The little girl said, ‘Well, who is she?’
‘That’s just Shirley Goodnest,’ Timmy replied, ‘and her
daughter Marcy.’
‘Shirley Goodnest? Who is she and why is she following us?’
‘Well,’ Timmy explained, ‘every night my Mom makes me say the 23rd
Psalm with my prayers, ‘cuz she worries about me so much. And in the
Psalm, it says, ‘Shirley Goodnest and Marcy shall follow me all the days
of my life’, so I guess I’ll just have to get used to it!’
