bad little boy was asking his mom for a bike.
She said, "Why should you get a bike? You are so bad!"
He said, "because I want one. I'll be good from now on."
"Now you know that's not true. You will be back putting tacks in your teachers chair right after you ride your new bike to school. I think you should go to your room and think about that."
He did and the mother came to check on him in an hour but he persisted that he deserved a bike and if his mom didn't get him one he would pray to Jesus and He would get it for him.
This angered her even more. "Well, I see you haven't learned your lesson so you have to stay in here for another hour."
The boy said, "FINE! don't come in here for another hour I'll be praying."
The mother came to the room in an hour thinking surely the boy had thought of her reasons for not granting the boys wish. She was wrong and sencenced the boy to yet another hour in the boring, bare room.
The boy, seeing his mother unmoved, decided that his prayers weren't working so he put on his jacket, snuck out of his window and ran down to the church at the end of the street. in the front lawn was a small statue of Mary.
The boy snuck up and took the statue into his jacket and ran home as fast as he could lugging the heavy statue. He got back into his room and set the statue down.
He got on his knees and put one arm around the virgin saying "I have your mother now."
