Let me know if you get the answer.

Can you answer this riddle?












Here is a pretty neat little thing from Paul Harvey. See
if you can guess the riddle at the end.













Paul Harvey Writes:














We tried so hard to make things better for our kids that
we made them worse. For my grandchildren, I'd like better.













I'd really like for them to know about hand me down
clothes and homemade ice cream and leftover meat loaf sandwiches. I
really would.














I hope you learn humility by being humiliated, and that
you learn honesty by being cheated.













I hope you learn to make your own bed and mow the lawn
and wash the car.













And I really hope nobody gives you a brand new car when
you are sixteen.













It will be good if at least one time you can see puppies
born and your old dog put to sleep.














I hope you get a black eye fighting for something you
believe in.















I hope you have to share a bedroom with your younger
brother/sister. And it's all right if you have to draw a line down the
middle of the room,but when he wants to crawl under the covers with you
because he's scared, I hope you let him.
















When you want to see a movie and your little
brother/sister wants to tag along, I hope you'll let him/her.













I hope you have to walk uphill to school with your
friends and that you live in a town where you can do it safely.














On rainy days when you have to catch a ride, I hope you
don't ask your driver to drop you two blocks away so you won't be seen
riding with someone as uncool as your Mom.













If you want a slingshot, I hope your Dad teaches you how
to make one instead of buying one.
















I hope you learn to dig in the dirt and read books.














When you learn to use computers, I hope you also learn
to add and subtract in your head.














I hope you get teased by your friends when you have your
first crush on a boy\girl, and when you talk back to your mother that
you learn what ivory soap tastes like.















May you skin your knee climbing a mountain, burn your
hand on a stove and stick your tongue on a frozen flagpole.

















I don't care if you try a beer once, but I hope you
don't like it. And if a friend offers you dope or a joint, I hope you
realize he is not your friend.












I sure hope you make time to sit on a porch with your
Grandma/Grandpa and go fishing with your Uncle.













May you feel sorrow at a funeral and joy during the
holidays.














I hope your mother punishes you when you throw a
baseball through your neighbor's window and that she hugs you and kisses
you at Hannukah/Christmas time when you give her a plaster mold of your
hand.














These things I wish for you - tough times and
disappointment, hard work and happiness. To me, it's the only way to
appreciate life.













Written with a pen. Sealed with a kiss I'm here for you.
And if I die before you do, I'll go to heaven and wait for you.














Send this to all of your friends. We secure our friends,
not by accepting favors, but by doing them.













Paul Harvey RIDDLE:













When asked this riddle, 80% of kindergarten kids got the
answer, compared to 17% of Stanford University













What is greater than God, More evil than the devil, The
poor have it, The rich need it, And if you eat it, you'll die?













Go down to the bottom of this message then press shift and you will
get the answer.















P.S.. You won't believe this, but this really does give
you the answer!!!!
