Practise makes perfect
A little girl was sitting on her grandfather's lap as he read her a bed-time story. From time to time, she reached up to touch his wrinkled cheek. Then she would stroke her own cheek. Finally she interrupted: "Grand-dad, did God make you?"
"Yes, dear," he answered, "God made me a long time ago."
"Oh," she paused, "Grand-dad, did God make me too?"
"Yes, indeed, dear," he said, "God made you just a little while ago."
Feeling their respective faces again, she observed, "God's getting better at it, isn't he ?"
