Hello, here is a cute little story that I have in an email, of a boy that is sure that he is due
for some awful ridicule from all the other kids and probably a spanking he'll never forget. Not
sure who the author is. It goes as follows....
Wet pants
Come with me to a third grade classroom....There is a nine-year-old kid sitting at
his desk and all of a sudden there is a puddle between his feet and the front of
his pants are wet. He thinks his heart is going to stop because he cannot possibly
imagine how this has happened. It's never happened before, and he knows that when
the boys find out, he will never hear the end of it. When the girls find out,
they'll never speak to him again as long as he lives.
The boy believes his heart is going to stop; he puts his head down and prays this
prayer, "Dear God, this is an emergency! I need help now! Five minutes from now
I'm dead meat."
He looks up from his prayer and here comes the teacher with a look in her eyes
that says he has been discovered....
As the teacher is walking toward him, a classmate named Susie is carrying a gold-
fish bowl that is filled with water. Susie trips in front of the teacher and
inexplicably dumps the bowl of water in the boy's lap.
The boy pretends to be angry, but all the while is saying to himself, "Thank you,
Lord! Thank you, Lord!"
Now all of a sudden, instead of being the object of ridicule, the boy is the
object of sympathy. The teacher rushes him downstairs and gives him gym shorts
to put on while his pants dry out. All the other kids are on their hands and
knees cleaning up around his desk. The sympathy is wonderful. but as life
would have it the ridicule that should have been his has been transferred to
someone else - Susie.
She tries to help, but they tell her, "Get back. You've done enough, you Klutz."
Finally at the end of the day, as they are waiting for the bus, the boy walks
over to Susie and whispers, "You did that on purpose, didn't you?"
Susie whispers back, "I wet my pants once, too."
May God help us see the opportunities that are always around us to do good...
