Walking to school

[Emery]

A mom was concerned about her kindergarten son walking to school. He
didn't want his mother to walk with him. She wanted to give him the
feeling that he had some independence, but yet know that he was safe.
So she had an idea of how to handle it.
She asked a neighbor, Mrs. Goodnest, if she would please follow
him to school in the mornings, staying at a distance, so he probably
wouldn't notice her. Mrs. Goodnest said that since she was up early
with her toddler anyway, it would be a good way for them to get some
exercise as well, so she agreed.

The next school day, Mrs. Goodnest and her little girl, Marcy,
set out following behind Timmy as he walked to school with another
neighbor boy he knew. She did this for the whole week. As the boys
walked and chatted, kicking stones and twigs, Timmy's little friend
noticed the same lady was following them as she seemed to do every day
all week.

Finally he said to Timmy, "Have you noticed that lady following us
to school all week? Do you know her?"
Timmy nonchalantly replied, "Yeah, I know who she is."
The friend said, "Well, who is she?"
"That's just Shirley Goodnest" Timmy replied, "and her daughter
Marcy."
"Shirley Goodnest? Who the heck is she and why is she following
us?"

"Well", Timmy explained, "every night my Mom makes me say the 23rd
Psalm with my prayers, 'cuz she worries about me so much. And in the
Psalm, it says 'Shirley Goodnest and Marcy shall follow me all the days
of my life,' so I guess I'll just have to get used to it!"
