Great bedtime story for children!
Lisa has two dads! What is Billy to do?
by George and Anne Sayne
Billy woke up from a long day of sleep. He then read his Bible, did his chores, did his studies, and everything else he was to do that morning. "Guess what, Billy?" His mother said "When dad gets home, he will take us to Lisa Smith's house! I will help Lisa's mother make supper while dad and Mr Smith do things like hunting and watching the Saturday game. Then, we will eat and you and Lisa can play while me and Mrs. Smith watch to make sure you don't do anything bad" Billy jumped up and down "Yay! This will be so fun!" Billy exclaimed "And we can finally meet Mrs. Smith!" Billy and his mom and dad had never met Mrs. Smith. Every time Lisa comes over, Mr. Smith drops her off and leaves. Billy has never seen Mrs. Smith. After all, Billy's dad is thinking of purchasing Lisa for her to marry Billy in some years, and the dad is the one who needs to help make the descision.
Billy was in his room all day reading his Bible, waiting for his mother to say
"Billy, lets go" The time had finally come! Billy put on his shoes and went to the car. His dad drove, while his mother was on the passenger side and Billy sat in the back. He could hardly contain his excitement! "You're driving on the wrong side of the road, David." Billy's mother started nagging. "Slow down, David, you hit the speed limit" "Well what do you know about driving, Jen, you're just a woman." Uh oh. Billy got antsy. He knew his dad was going to pull over to beat his mother. Billy knew this was the right thing, but it made the drive so much longer!
"We're here!" Billys dad said. They went up to the door and Billy knocked.
"Hello?" A strange man said, holding the door open from the inside. "Who are you?" said Billy's dad. "I'm Lisa's father. I see we haven't met" Lisa's father? Billy knew Lisa's dad. He was white and had light brown hair. He had a distinct face. This man looked Asian, and the kind of person you would see on the regular old sidewalk.
"You're not Lisa's dad. I know him!" Billy said. "I am her dad! Lisa has two!" This was strange to Billy. He thought he had read about this somewhere. He asked his parents "Mom, how come Lisa has two of the same parent?" His dad said, "Some kids do. Sometimes, the same kind of person marry and adopt kids. You have to be tolerant of them"
Billy wanted to listen, but it didn't feel right. Even when Lisa asked, Billy didn't play with her. He picked at his food and didn't eat much. He hardly talked that night.
When Billy got home, he still thought about where he read about this. He thought about Lisa and her dad and her other dad. He thought what his own parents had said, "You have to be tolerant of them" it still didn't feel right.
"I know" Billy said "I'll read my King James Bible!" And that's just what he did. He had already read through Genesis and Exodus. He was in the middle of Leviticus, as he came upon Leviticus 20:13. Billy knew just what to do.
"I want to go to Lisa's house!" Billy said. "Ok I suppose we can. I left my sweater there by mistake, anyways, and we need to pick it up" his mother replied. They came to Lisa's house. "Lisa, where is everyone else?" "My dads are taking a nap. They are in the big bedroom at the end of the hallway"
While Billy's mother searched for her sweater, Billy went to the kitchen. Lisa was in her room cleaning, and didn't see Billy. He scavenged through all the drawers and shelves, until he came across a big knife.
He went to the big bedroom at the end of the hall. He looked back at his Bible and then at the people in the bed. "Yup, it sure is a man lying with mankind alright." Billy thought. He said a quiet prayer, and stabbed both of them.
The End!
