An elderly Grandfather was invited to his son and daughters home for Sunday lunch. He made a mess on the beautiful table cloth with his soup, dropped his peas on the beautiful floor, broke his sundae dish (a beautiful crystal glass) part of a set. The daughter in law got cross and the next weekend she sat him at the end of the table, she placed an old towel under his wooden dish. He ate with a large spoon and his soup had been thickened with bread. He had a tear in his eye. His little grandaughter noticed and said, " Monny will you save those things for me so that I can use them for Daddy when I grow up. There was a stunned silence, the following week Grandaddy was sitting with the family and the wooden dish large spoon had gone. The Father said a prayer, There but for the grace of God go I.
