This is one smart child.
Little Melissa comes home from first grade and tells her father that
they learned about the history of Valentine's Day. "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?"
Melissa'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 sent
valentines to Osama, he'd love everyone a lot. And then he'd start going
all over the place to 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. "Melissa, that's the most wonderful thing I've
ever heard."
"I know," Melissa says, "and once that
gets him out in the open, the Marines could blow the shit out of
him..."
