After church

Innocence


A father watched his young six-year-old daughter playing in the garden after church.

Tears formed in his eyes as he thought about her seeing the wonders of nature through innocent eyes.

Suddenly, she stopped and stared at the ground.

He went to see what work of God had captured her attention. He noticed she was watching two spiders mating.

"Daddy, what are those two spiders doing?" she asked.

"They're mating", her father replied.

"What do you call the spider on top," she asked

"That's a Daddy Long Legs," her father answered.

"So, the other one is a Mommy Long Legs?" the little girl asked.

As his heart soared with the joy of such a cute and innocent question, he replied, "No dear, both of them are Daddy Long Legs."

He smiled as he reflected on how sweet and pure his little girl was.

The little girl, looking a bit puzzled, thought for a moment, then took her foot and stomped them flat.

"Well, we're not having any of that faggot shit in our garden!" she said.
