Little Melissa

Little Melissa comes from Chance Cove, Newfoundland and attends third grade.
After school she tells her father that they learned about the history
of Valentine's Day.
"Since Valentine's Day is for a Christian saint, I was wondering if I
gave a Valentine to someone who was not, will God get mad at me for
giving them a valentine?"
Melissa's father thinks a bit, then says "No, I don't think God would
get mad. Who do you want to give a Valentine to?"
"Osama Bin Laden," she says.
"Why Osama Bin Laden," her Father asks in shock.
"Well," she says, "I thought that if a little Newfoundland Christian
Girl could have enough love to give Osama a Valentine, he might start
to think that maybe we're not all bad, & maybe start loving people a
little bit. And if other kids saw what I did and sent Valentines to
Osama, he'd love everyone a lot. And then he'd start going all over
the place to tell everyone how much he loved them and how he didn't
hate anyone anymore."
Her Father's heart swells and he looks at his daughter with new-found pride.
"Melissa, that's the most wonderful thing I've ever heard."
"I know," Melissa says, "and once that gets him out in the open, our
Canadian Soldiers can shoot the sucker."
