Legs Up

Little Johnny found his puppy Buddy dead in the back yard and ran crying to his father, who explained Buddy had gone to heaven.

"So why are his legs sticking up in the air like that, Daddy?" asked Little Johnny.

At a loss for something to say the father replied, "Buddy's legs are pointing straight up in the air so that it will be easier for Jesus to take him by the leg and lift him up to heaven."

Little Johnny seemed satisfied with the explanation and was able to take Buddy's death quite well. However, two days later when his father came home from work, Little Johnny had tears in his eyes as he said, "Mommy almost died this morning."

Fearing something terrible had happened, his father questioned, "What do you mean Johnny?"

"Well", mumbled Little Johnny, "Soon after you left for work this morning I saw Mommy lying on the floor with her legs in the air and she was shouting, 'Oh Jesus! I'm coming, I'm coming!' If it hadn't been for the milkman holding her down, she would have gone to Heaven just like Buddy did."
