She Thinks That I Am Real
Mark 7:31-37

A story is told of a family that went into a restaurant. The waitress walked up and, looking at the young boy, said: What will it be? The boy eagerly shouted back: "I'll take a hamburger, French fries, and a chocolate shake."  The mother immediately interrupted: Oh, that's not what he wants. "He'll take the roast beef, a baked potato, and a glass of milk." Much to the surprise of both the mother and the boy, the waitress completely ignored her and again asked the boy: "And what do you want on that hamburger?" The boy shouted back, "ketchup, lots of ketchup." "And what kind of shake?"  "Make it chocolate." The boy then turned to his parents with a big smile on his face and said: "Say, ain't she something. She thinks that I'm real!"

Well, let me give you fair warning. If you once, just once, start really hearing people they are suddenly going to become real to you.
