Two
women were sitting on a train. It was a long ride so they started
talking about family business and their family members. And the older
of the two women said, “Oh! My God, it’s so terrible to
have children. There’s so much to worry about; they always make
trouble for you. My son, he’s only 20 years old, but he already
smokes and drinks, and he always changes girlfriends. It’s really
terrible. I wish he could be better, but no such luck. I’ve
been praying every day.” She then asked the other woman, “And
how about you? Do you have any children? How about your son?”
So the younger woman said, “Oh, my son is no problem! He never
smokes, he never drinks and he doesn’t have a girlfriend. He
doesn’t even utter one word about bad things.” So the
older woman said, “Really? Fantastic! You’re so blessed.
How old is he?” And the younger woman said, “Five months.”
