Getting older and smarter...

As we get older, we think differently, don't we? This letter was sent to
the principal's office after the school had sponsored a luncheon for
the elderly.

An elderly lady received a new radio at the luncheon as a prize and
was writing to say thank you. This story is a credit to all humankind
especially if you are familiar with the elderly and their ways.

Dear Lincoln Elementary,

God bless you for the beautiful radio I won at your recent Senior
Citizens luncheon. I am 78 years old and live at the Springer Home for
the Aged. All of my family has passed away. I am all alone now and
it's nice to know that someone is thinking of me. God bless you for
your kindness to an old forgotten lady.

My roommate is 84 and has always had her own radio, but before I
received one, she would never let me listen to hers, even when she was
napping. 

The other day her radio fell off the night-stand and broke
into a lot of pieces. It was awful and she was in tears.
Her distress over the broken radio touched me and I knew this was
God's way of answering my prayers. 
She asked me if she could listen to mine, and I told her to kiss my ass!!


Thank you again,
W.P.
