One of the greatest pleasures that we can have in life is giving somebody a gift. I’m sure that most of us would agree with that fact but there is also something enjoyable about receiving a gift as well. That is especially true if we were able to choose what we are receiving and it is exactly what we want. It is also the subject of a very funny joke that we are sharing with you below. The little boy in this joke knew just what he wanted and it seems as if he had a plan to get it.
A little boy wants a bike for Christmas really badly, but the kid is a real bad seed, and he knows it.
He writes a letter to Jesus. “Dear Jesus, if I get a bike for Christmas, I’ll be good for a whole week.” He thinks about it, crosses out what he wrote, and says, “I can’t be good for a whole week, I’ll be good for five days.” He crosses that out and writes, “I’ll be good for four days.” Then he thinks again and says, “Can’t do that.” He gets down to one day and says, “I can’t even be good for a day.”
Then in frustration, goes to the Church and gets the small statue of the Virgin Mary, wraps it up in a blanket, puts it in a paper bag, throws it in his closet and says, “Dear Jesus, if I don’t get a bike for Christmas, you’ll never see your mother again!”
