Hi everyone!
Sometimes, just when you get into a really good dream,
somebody comes knocking at your door, like this...
A husband and wife were sound asleep in bed in the early hours of the morning when there was a knock on their front door.
The husband tried to ignore it, but moments later the knocking was repeated, louder than before.
"Go and see who it is, dear," said the wife. "It must be important at this hour." So the husband put on his house-coat and went downstairs to answer the door.
He was greeted by a drunk who said in a slurred voice, "Will you give me a push?"
The husband was furious. "No, I will not," he raged. "It's half past three in the morning, and I was sound asleep in bed. Get lost!" And he slammed the door and went back up to bed.
When he told his wife what had happened, she was annoyed with him. "That wasn't a very nice thing to do," she said. "Remember the time when our car broke down late at night in the pouring rain on our way to pick the kids up from the baby-sitter, and you had to knock on that man's door to get us started again? What would we have done if he'd told us to get lost?"
"But this guy was drunk!" protested the husband.
"It doesn't matter - he needs our help."
The husband could see that he wouldn't be allowed to get back to sleep, so he got dressed, went downstairs and opened the door. He couldn't see the drunk anywhere so he called out, "Do you still want a push?"
A voice came back out of the darkness, "Yes please."
"Where are you?" asked the husband, still unable to see him.
"I'm over here - on your swing."
God bless,
