Little Johnny and his dad came across his puppy, dead in the back yard. Daddy
explained that Tiddles had gone to heaven. "So why are his legs sticking up in
the air like that, Daddy?" asked Johnny as he fought back tears. At a loss for
something to say the father replied, "Tiddles' legs are pointing straight up in
the air so that it will be easier for Jesus to float down from heaven above and
grab a leg and lift Tiddles up to heaven".
Little Johnny seemed to take Tiddles' death quite well. However, two days later
when his father came home from work Johnny had tears in his eyes and said,
"Mommy almost died this morning." Fearing something terrible had happened
the father shook the boy and shouted, "What do you mean Johnny? Tell Daddy!"
"Well", mumbled Johnny, "Soon after you left for work this morning I saw mommy
lying on the floor with her legs in the air and she was shouting, "Oh Jesus! I'm
coming, I'm coming!" and if it hadn't been for the milkman holding her down she
would definitely have gone, Daddy".
