Speak Up

A little boy was kneeling beside his bed with his mother and elderly grandmother and softly saying his prayers, "Dear God, please bless Mummy and Daddy and all the family and please give me a good night's sleep."

Suddenly he raised his voice, "And don't forget to give me a bicycle for my birthday!!"
"There is no need to shout like that," said his mother. "God isn't deaf."

"I know," said the little boy, "but Grandma is."
