So as part of his usual chores, Bobby, a little boy, is expected to go outside each night after dinner to fetch his father's late-edition newspaper. The family lives on a farm and the driveway where the paper is delivered is a long one.
Come winter and the earlier, darker nights, Bobby begins to show some serious signs of stress at the prospect of going outside, all alone, to march down the driveway.
His mother asks him why he's being so nervous. "Mom." Bobby confesses, "it's just so dark out there, I'm afraid."
The mother says, "Bobby, my darling child, you must know that, no matter how dark it may be, Jesus it there. Jesus is out there, behind every, scary tree and in every shadow."
With this the boy lights up with a huge smile of relief and his mother blushes with Christian pride. Then Bobby sticks his arm, and only his arm, out the door and yells,
"Hey Jesus! Long as you're out there, can you hand me the paper?"
