One night a father put his three-year-old daughter to bed, told her a story and listened to her prayers, which she ended by saying:
"God bless mommy, God bless daddy, God bless grandma, and goodbye Grandpa."
"A why yuh say good-bye Grandpa fa?" the father asked.
"Mi noh know, " the little girl said.
The next day, Grandpa died. The man thought it was a strange coincidence. A few months later, he put
the girl to bed and listened to her prayers, which went like this:
"God bless Mommy, God bless Daddy and good-bye Grandma." The next day, the grandmother died!
Rahtid, thought the man, dis yah pickney can see inna de future. Several weeks later when the girl was going to bed, the man heard her say "God bless Mommy and good-bye Daddy."
The man practically went into shock. He couldn't sleep all night and got up at the crack of dawn to go to his office. He was nervous all day.He figured if he could get by until midnight he would be OK He felt safe in
the office, so he stayed until the end of the day, looking at his watch and jumping at every sound.Finally, when midnight arrived, he breathed a sigh of relief and went home.
When he got home his wife said "Yuh neva come 'ome dis late before, wha happen?
"Mi no waan talk 'bout it," he said. "Mi jus 'ave de worst day a mi life."
"Yuh tink yuh had a bad day?" the wife exclaimed."
"You'll neva believe wha happen. Dis mahnin, Desmond next door, drap dead pan de varandah."
