Joke of Today

God's Creations

    Grandpa and granddaugher were sitting talking when she asked, "Did God make you, Grandpa?"

     "Yes, God made me," the grandfather answered. A few minutes later, the little girl asked him, "Did God make me too?"

    "Yes, He did," the older man answered. For a few minutes, the little girl seemed to be studying her grandpa, as well as her own reflection in the mirror, while her grandfather wondered what was running through her mind. At last she spoke up. "You know, Grandpa," she said, "God's doing a lot better job lately."
