JOKE OF THE DAY: The Little Boy and the Confession

38

Tommy nodded, a sense of pride swelling in his chest.

He felt like he had handled the whole thing quite well.

When he finally emerged from the booth, his grandma greeted him with a warm smile. “How did it go?” she asked.

Tommy’s grin stretched from ear to ear. “Piece of cake, Grandma… but I don’t think that guy behind the screen knows half the stuff I’ve done!”

A Bold Request for a New Bike
A little boy dreamed of getting a new bicycle, but his mother explained that they didn’t have enough money for it.

She gave him an idea, suggesting that if he wrote a letter to Jesus promising to be a good boy in the future, maybe Jesus would be willing to help him get one.

The boy eagerly began writing his letter. He started with, “Dear Jesus, I promise to be good for one year…” but as he read it, he knew he couldn’t keep that promise. So he crossed it out and started again.

“Dear Jesus, I promise to be good for one month.” That still felt like a long time.

He crossed it out once more, finally settling on, “Dear Jesus, I promise to be good for one week.”

Feeling unsure and a little frustrated, he tore up the paper and decided to take a walk to clear his head. As he passed the local church, his eyes fell upon a nativity scene set up outside.

He had an idea. When he was sure no one was watching, he quickly grabbed the figure of Mary, hid it under his coat, and hurried back home.

Once inside, he sat down with a fresh piece of paper and composed a new, much more direct letter.

It simply read: “Dear Jesus, if you ever want to see your mother again…”

The Wedding Math
A little boy was attending his very first wedding, watching the ceremony with wide-eyed curiosity. Afterward, his older cousin decided to test his knowledge with a question. “How many women can a man marry?” he asked.

Without a moment’s hesitation, the boy responded, “Sixteen.”

His cousin was genuinely impressed that he had such a specific answer so quickly.

“How did you figure that out?” he asked. “Easy,” the little boy said confidently.

“All you have to do is add it up like the Bishop said: 4 better, 4 worse, 4 richer, 4 poorer.”

A bank notification woke me up at 2 a.m. My password no longer worked. I called my brother. “What did you do?” He replied, “We’re helping you out.” His wife smiled: “You’ll thank us later.” I sat there, stunned. Then, I texted the lawyer: “They took the bait. Proceed as we discussed.”

“Your brother’s business is more important than your measly savings,” my mother said as she emptied the account she had set aside for me. My father agreed with her. I didn’t object or raise my voice. Three weeks later, the executor called a family meeting. My mother walked in beaming—until he read out that single line.

“Your parents used your $100,000 inheritance for your sister’s lavish wedding. You should be grateful to her,” my mother said, curling her lip. I didn’t cry. I simply watched as my usually quiet husband flew into a rage. He slammed his hand onto the table, locked the door, and spoke up: “Shall I show you two the eviction notice?” My sister was stunned…

My daughter and son-in-law had been living rent-free in my lakeside home for three years. During dinner, my daughter’s mother-in-law spoke excitedly about “the luxury resort our family is about to build.” My daughter smiled and slid a stack of papers toward me: “You just need to sign here so the bank can finalize everything.” I picked up the pen but didn’t sign right away. When I turned to page 13, my daughter hurriedly glanced at her husband.
