Child In Heaven 

Once upon a time 
there was a child 
ready to be born. 
The child asked God, 
"They tell me you are 
sending me to earth 
tomorrow, but how am I 
going to live there 
being so small and 
helpless?"

God replied, "Among 
the many angels,  I 
chose one for you. 
Your angel will be 
waiting for you and 
will take care of you." 

The child further 
inquired, 
"But tell me, here in 
heaven I don't have to 
do anything but sing 
and smile to be happy." 

God said, "Your angel 
will sing for you and 
will also smile for 
you everyday.  And 
you will feel your 
angel's love and be 
very happy." 
 
Again the child asked, 
"And how am I going to 
be able to understand 
when people talk to me 
if I don't know the 
language?" 

God said, "Your angel 
will tell you the most 
beautiful and sweet 
words you will ever hear, 
and with much patience 
and care, your angel will 
teach you how to speak." 

"And what am I going to 
do when I want to talk 
to you?" 

God said, "Your angel 
will place your hands 
together and will teach 
you how to pray. 
 
" I've heard that on 
Earth there are bad men. 
Who will protect 
me?" 

God said, "Your angel 
will defend you even if 
it means risking it's 
life." 

"But I will always be sad 
because I will not 
see you anymore." 

God said, "Your angel will 
always talk to you about me 
and will teach you the way 
to come back to me, even 
though I will always be 
next to you." 

At that moment there was 
much peace in heaven, but 
voices from Earth could be 
heard and the 
child hurriedly asked, 
"God, if I am to leave 
now, please tell me my 
angel's name."  

"Her name is not 
important. You will 
simply call her "Mom."

Long term team players needed for
challenging permanent work in an 
often chaotic environment. 
         

Candidates:
Must possess excellent communication 
and organizational skills and be 
willing to work variable hours, which 
will include evenings and weekends 
and frequent 24 hour shifts on call. 

Some overnight travel required,

sports tournaments in far away cities. 

Travel expenses not reimbursed. 
Extensive courier duties also required.
 

Responsibilities: 
For the rest of your life. 

Must be willing to be hated, at least 
temporarily, until someone needs $5. 

Must be willing to bite tongue 
repeatedly. 

Also, must possess the physical stamina 
of a pack mule and be able to go from 
zero to 60 mph in three seconds flat 
in case, this time, the screams from 
the backyard are not someone just 
crying wolf. 

Must be willing to face stimulating 
technical challenges, such as small 
gadget repair, mysteriously sluggish 
toilets and stuck zippers. 

Must screen phone calls, maintain 
calendars and coordinate production 
of multiple homework projects. 

Must have ability to plan and 
organize social gatherings for 
clients of all ages and mental 
outlooks. 

Must be willing to be

without complaining,constantly 
retraining and updating your 
skills, so that those in your 
charge can ultimately surpass 
you.

         
Previous Experience: 
None required, unfortunately. 
On-the-job training offered 
on a continually exhausting basis.


Wages And Compensation: 
You pay them! 

Offering frequent raises and 
bonuses. 
         
A balloon payment is due when 
they turn 18 because of the
assumption that college will 
help them become financially 
independent.
         
When you die, you give them 
whatever is left. 

The oddest thing about this 
reverse-salary scheme is 
that you actually enjoy it 
and wish you could only 
do more.

         
Benefits: 
While no health or dental 
insurance, no pension, no 
tuition reimbursement, no 
paid holidays and no stock 
options are offered; this 
job supplies limitless 
opportunities for personal 
growth and free hugs for 
life if you play your 
cards right.
