Oh Brandon

Brandon is a very devoted Ds player, It help clams him before bed it breaks up the monotony of long summer days, it devourers his attention when all attention is lost. So if you could only imagine his grief when his Ds was misplaced. Only two days had passed and couldn't go on living without his it. So the suggestion comes to him that he should pray about it and maybe he could have help finding it .....

" Dear Heavenly Father, put my Ds under my pillow now! "

He gets up runs down the hall... no Ds under his pillow. He comes back just as miserable as one soul can be .
Next he tries the tooth fairy , Easter Bunny , and why not Santa Clause, ( he knows this is a stretch since there is no snow on the roof tops.) He asks me to take him to the doctor so they can fix his brain , and help him remember better. He tries replacing his steps but by now a week has gone by and his going day by day . I suggest that he looks the last place he remembers having it. His response is simple....

" If I knew that I wouldn't have Left it there." We turn the house inside out, bring a new meaning to clean under Brandon's bed. He has just about givin up and is gathering things to sell to buy a new DS. He put his Red eye phantom Stuffed puppy in the pile, A baby picture of himself ( a long with a hefty price tag $40 for a mangled snapshot) HE wants to set a table out front and sell his aunts book for $60 a book. He is willing to trade his little sisters Broken DS for a brand new one. He continues to prays everyday , with his arms raised to the sky muttering under his breath.

As I walk into my Moms house last Monday, There is a excited energy in the air , Brandon was
hugging Grandma with the look of pure joy spread across his whole body. I leave for work know that Brandons prayers were answered, When I came home I knew it was time to teach him a lesson about heavenly father answering our prayers.

"Brandon,, Heavenly Father helped Grandma find your Ds because you prayed about it, You need to thank him for that ." He cut me off

"Mom I can't ... I said bad words to him "

" Brandon what bad words did you say "

"You know Mom ALL of them. "

"oh Brandon. Your lucky you got your Ds back at all."

I'll save this lesson for another day
