As Forrest Gump reached the gates of Heaven, he was greeted by none other than Saint Peter, standing tall with a warm smile.
“Ah, Mr. Gump! We’ve been expecting you,” Saint Peter said kindly.
Forrest looked around, eyes wide, trying to take it all in.
“Before you can step through these gates, I need to ask you three questions. Do you mind?”
Forrest shrugged. “Well, alright then.”
“First question,” said Saint Peter. “How many seconds are there in a year?”
Forrest scratched his head, thought for a bit, and then confidently answered, “Twelve.”
Saint Peter blinked in confusion. “Twelve? You’re saying there are twelve seconds in an entire year? How’d you figure that?”
Forrest smiled and said, “Well sure. There’s January 2nd, February 2nd, March 2nd… all the way to December 2nd. That’s twelve.”
Saint Peter rubbed his temples and sighed. “Okay… not the answer I was expecting, but… technically, I suppose you’re not wrong.”
Forrest grinned a little wider.
“Alright,” Saint Peter continued, “next question: how many days of the week start with the letter T?”
Forrest paused, thought long and hard, then said, “Four.”
“Four?!” Saint Peter exclaimed. “How in Heaven’s name did you get four?”
“Well,” Forrest said, counting on his fingers, “you got Tuesday, Thursday, Today, and Tomorrow.”
Saint Peter nearly dropped his clipboard. “I… I guess that’s not entirely wrong either.”
Forrest gave a proud nod.
“Last question,” Saint Peter said, trying to regain composure. “What’s God’s real name?”
Forrest’s face grew serious. He looked up for a moment, thinking hard. Then his eyes lit up.
“It’s Andy,” he declared.
Saint Peter just stared. “Andy?! How did you come up with that?”
Forrest stood tall and said, “Just like that old hymn says… ‘Andy walks with me, Andy talks with me…’”
Saint Peter covered his face, let out a slow breath, then chuckled.
“Welcome to Heaven, Mr. Gump.”
