“When will I get my black baby?” It was a sincere and earnestly asked question, but Sister Jesus Mary and Joseph seemed perplexed and annoyed in equal measure.
“I’m hert roastit wi’ yis, so I am. Git back to yir seat and don’t talk such nonsense Marjory!”
“But…please Sister, I paid my whole shilling, look at my sheet” I held up the little sheet with the twelve ticked boxes for her to see.
“God and his blisset mother help me! Yis will be the daith of me sure enough! Yi don’t get a black baby Marjory, nor any other shade of baby besides. I already explained to yi , the money goes to help babies in Africa. I gave yi a picture of one so’s yi can pray for it”.
I returned to my seat disconsolate and feeling cheated out of my prize. Looking through a teary curtain at a picture of the little black face I’d hoped to kiss.

Funny, but sad
Written by Josie (2825 comments posted) 14th October 2006 | Madge, this was quite funny but a bit sad. But I have a friend who has just "adopted" 2 little black children in Uganda. It costs £10 a week to feed, clothe and pay for schooling for children who have lost absolutely everything in life.

On this page you will see a dear little boy who desperately needs someone like you to give him a chance. So you still have your chance to help a little black baby Madge - well, a second chance. | Did you go to school with me?
