When!?
by TD Euwaite
I finally talked Mom into
riding the time machine!.
“When do you want to go!?” I asked her!.
After lunch is fine!.
“No, Mom, what year do you want
me to set on the dial!?”
Zero!.
“Zero’s not a value, Mom!. It’s just
a place marker!.”
I want to see Jesus on the Cross!.
“That’s not an exact date!.”
Just get me close!.

Mom sounds like a person who wants to "get to the root" of knowledge - go to the source - straight from the horse's mouth kind of thing!. Hurray for Mom !!! I do not quite agree with the time though - I would more have liked a happier day like the wedding ;-) p!.s!. - wouldn't "zero" be more like the "birth" of Jesus!?Www@QuestionHome@Com
Why the h*ll do you write in parts,
and how long do we have to wait to get to judge it!.
I dont need an exact date Just get me close!.
