CHANCE TO REST
An overworked mother of three active young boys was playing in the yard with her boys one afternoon when her neighbor came by to borrow a cup of sugar. One of her boys aimed his play pistol at his mother and yelled, “Bang! You’re dead!” The mother acted the part perfectly. She took the shot and fell to the ground. When she fell to the ground, she did not get up. Her neighbor waited for her to get up. But she did not get up, so the concerned neighbor rushed over to see if she was hurt from the fall. As the neighbor bent over, the mother opened one eye and whispered, “Shhhhhh–Please don’t give me away. This is the only chance I ever get to rest.”
