Daddy's Little Girl
>>
>> Little Thelma comes home from first grade and tells her father that
they
>>learned about the history of Valentine's Day. And, "Since Valentine's
Day
>>is
>>for a Christian saint and we're Jewish," she asks, "will God get mad
at me
>>for giving someone a valentine?
>>
>> Thelma's father thinks a bit, then says "No, I don't think God
would get
>>mad. Who do you want to give a valentine to?"
>>
>> "Osama Bin Laden," she says.
>>
>> "Why Osama Bin Laden," her father asks in shock?
>>
>> "Well," she says, "I thought that if a little American Jewish girl
could
>>have enough love to give Osama a valentine, he might start to think
that
>>maybe we're not all bad, and maybe start loving people a little bit.
>>
>> And if other kids saw what I did and then they sent valentines to
Osama,
>>he'd love everyone a lot. And then he'd start going all over the
place
>>tell
>>everyone how much he loved them and how he didn't hate anyone
anymore."
>>
>> Her father's heart swells and he looks at his daughter with
newfound
>>pride. "Thelma, that's the most wonderful thing I've ever heard."
>>
>> "I know," Thelma says, "and once that gets him out in the open, the
>>Marines could blow the sh*t out of him."
