Not a good example! But funny.
Little Barry came into the kitchen where his mother was making his
dinner.
His birthday was coming up and he thought this was a good time to
tell his mother what he wanted:
"Mom, I want a bike for my birthday"
Little Barry was a bit of a troublemaker. He had gotten into trouble
....at school and at home. Barry's mother asked him if he thought he
deserved to get a bike for his birthday. Little Barry, of course,
thought he did. Barry's mother, being a good Christian woman,
wanted him to reflect on his behaviour over the last year, and write
a letter to God, and tell him why he deserved a bike for his birthday.

Little Barry stomped up the steps to his room and sat down to write
God a letter.
LETTER 1:
Dear God,
I have been a very good boy this year and I would like a bike for my
birthday. I want a red one.
Your friend, Barry
Barry knew this wasn't true. He had not been a very good boy this
year, so he tore up he letter and started over.
LETTER 2:
Dear God,
This is your friend Barry. I have been a pretty good boy this year,
and I would like a red bike for my birthday.
Thank you, Barry.
Barry knew this wasn't true either. He tore up the letter and started again.
LETTER 3:
Dear God,
I have been an OK boy this year and I would really like a red bike for my birthday.
Your friend, Barry.
Barry knew he could not send this letter to God either.
Barry was very upset. He went downstairs and told his mother he wanted to
go to church.
Barry's mother thought her plan had worked because Barry looked very sad.
"Just be home in time for dinner", his mother said.
Barry walked down the street to the church and up to the altar. He looked around to see if anyone was there. He picked up a statue of the Virgin Mary. He slipped it under his shirt and ran out of the church, down the street, into his house, and up to his room. He shut the door to his room and sat down with a piece of paper and a pen.
Barry began to write his letter to God.
LETTER 4:
Dear God,
I HAVE GOT YOUR MUM. IF YOU WANT TO SEE HER AGAIN, SEND THE F*CKING
BIKE.
