Daddy Doesn't Want
to Play with Me!
Once there was a little boy
who wanted his dad to teach him how to play catch. One sunny
day the little boy's father was sitting on the couch,
drinking a beer, while watching a baseball game. The boy
rushed into the house exclaiming "Daddy, daddy, daddy, show me
how to play catch!" The father, blankly starring at the
television screen, replied " In a little while son, let me
finish watching this inning, come back in five
minutes.""Okay daddy" said the boy and
ran out of the room.
Five minutes later the boy returned
screaming "Daddy, let's go, let's play some catch
now!"The father turned to the boy
and said hold on son the inning is not quite over come back
in five more minutes. "Okay, daddy" said the boy as he
shuffled out the room. Five minutes later the boy returned
ball and glove in hand eagerly awaiting for his father to
play some catch."Daddy, lets go, I want to be
Ken Griffey Jr.!" shouted the boy.
By this time, the father had
cracked open another cold one and another inning was taking
place. Frustrated by the boy's constant hindrances, the dad
scanned the room. While scanning the room the father notice
a magazine underneath the coffee table. On the cover of the
magazine was a large picture of the world. The father, who
was angered & annoyed, began tearing the magazine cover
in to small pieces. After a few moments, of shredding up the
magazine cover, the father placed the torn pieces on the
magazine. Then, the father turned to his boy and said "Son,
once you put this picture of the world back together we can
play catch, but do not interrupt me again until you are
done!"
Apprehensively, the boy took
the magazine and sulked into his room. As he sobbed "Okay,
daddy I won't". A few moments later the boy
returned and said, "I'm done daddy can we play catch
now?" Stunned, the father glanced
towards his child, and there in his small hands laid the
magazine with the world pieced perfectly together. Amazed,
the dad asked his child how he put the world together so
quickly.
"It was simple" stated
the boy "On the back of the world was a picture of a person,
and once I put the person together that's when their world
came together."
