Need a laugh? Do you have a sense of humor? Yes? Then can't you just image the soul searching going on when these kids found themselves in these predicaments? Let's take a look:
1. One Sunday a school teacher was discussing The Ten Commandments with her five and six year olds. After explaining the commandment to "honor thy father and thy mother," she asked "Is there a commandment that teaches us how to treat our brothers and sisters?" Without missing a beat one little boy answered, "Thou shall not kill." [Hmmm. Right on point.]
2. Another small boy stunned his parents after church one Sunday when he began to empty his pockets of nickels, dimes and quarters. Finally his mother asked the obvious question, "Where did you get all that money?" "At Sunday school," the boy replied nonchalantly. "They have bowls of it." [Pennies from heaven, perhaps? Resourceful little rascal, to say the least.]
3. And this little boy opened the big and old family Bible with fascination, and looked at the old pages as he turned them. Suddenly, something fell out of the Bible, and he picked it up and looked at it closely. It was an old leaf from a tree that had been pressed in between the pages. "Momma, look what I found," the boy called out.
"What have you got there, dear?" his mother asked.
With astonishment in the young boy's voice, he answered: "I think it's Adam's suit!" [At least he was paying attention during Sunday School class.]
4. As another mother was preparing pancakes for her sons, Kevin, 5, and Ryan, 3, the boys began to argue over who would get the first pancake. Their mother saw the opportunity for a moral lesson. If Jesus were sitting here, He would say, "Let my brother have the first pancake. I can wait." Kevin turned to his younger brother and said, "Ryan, you be Jesus." [Now wasn't that a generous act of kindness!]
5. And finally the age old question: Where is God?
A couple down the street had two little boys, ages 8 and 10, who were excessively mischievous. They were always getting into trouble and their parents knew that if any mischief occurred in the town their sons were probably involved.
The boys' mother heard that a local clergyman had been successful in disciplining children, so she asked if he would speak with her boys. The clergyman agreed, but asked to see them individually. So the mother sent her 8-year-old first, in the morning, with the older boy to see the clergyman in the afternoon.
The clergyman, a huge man with a booming voice, sat the younger boy down and asked him sternly, "Where is God?"
The boy's mouth dropped open, but he made no response, sitting there with his mouth hanging open, wide-eyed. So the clergyman repeated the question in an even sterner tone, "Where is God!!?" Again the boy made no attempt to answer.
So the clergyman raised his voice even more and shook his finger in the boy's face and bellowed, "WHERE IS GOD!?"
The boy screamed and bolted from the room, ran directly home and dove into his closet, slamming the door behind him. When his older brother found him in the closet, he asked, "What happened?"
The younger brother, gasping for breath, replied, "We are in BIG trouble this time, dude. God is missing - and they think WE did it!"

Thank you, Anika. I have some really cute ones lined up for Spring and Summer.
I think the thing I regret most in my life is not keeping a journal of the cute things my own kids and grandkids said while they were little and how old they were when they said it. And their mannerisms!!! My goodness, how often have I seen myself in what they say and do with the wave of the hand, shrug of the shoulder - even roll of the eyes. So funny and so cute when they did it . . . when they were little, that is. ^.^
I really like this entry. The stories are very cute. ^.^ I always wish that all people could have the kind of blind faith that children have.
Also, in reply to your comment on my blog: I'm glad that you liked the videos. OrigamiTube is a pretty cool site, so I highly recommend checking it out. Hopefully most the members will allow others to embed the videos, unlike the heart-with-wings video maker. :(
LOL. I'm glad you liked the personality in this post. I was vaguely annoyed by the video issues, hence it showing through in my writing. I always try and add my personality to my writing, but I'm usually somewhat formal in writting (I blame it on all my English teachers through the years...they did their job TOO well).
Anyway, as always, thanks for reading the blog and for commenting!
