| Don't Argue With Children |
A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales. The
teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to
swallow a human because even though it was a very large
mammal its throat was very small.
The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale.
Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not
swallow a human; it was physically impossible.
The little girl said, "When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah".
The teacher asked, "What if Jonah went to hell?"
The little girl replied, "Then you ask him".
A Kindergarten teacher was observing her classroom of
children while they drew. She would occasionally walk around
to see each child's work.
As she got to one little girl who was working diligently, she
asked what the drawing was? The girl replied, "I'm drawing
God."
The teacher paused and said, "But no one knows what God
looks like."
Without missing a beat, or looking up from her drawing, the
girl replied, "They will in a minute."
A Sunday 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 (the oldest of a family)
answered, "Thou shall not kill."
An honest seven-year-old admitted calmly to her parents that
Billy Brown had kissed her after class.
"How did that happen?" gasped her mother.
"It wasn't easy," admitted the young lady, "but three girls
helped me catch him."
One day a little girl was sitting and watching her mother do
the dishes at the kitchen sink. She suddenly noticed that her
mother has several strands of white hair sticking out in
contrast on her brunette head.
She looked at her mother and inquisitively asked, "Why are
some of your hairs white, Mom?" Her mother replied, "Well,
every time that you do something wrong and make me cry or
unhappy, one of my hairs turns white."
The little girl thought about this revelation for a while and
then said, Momma, how come ALL of grandma's hairs are
white?"
A three-year-old went with his dad to see a litter of kittens.
On returning home, he breathlessly informed his mother that
there were two boy kittens and two girl kittens.
"How did you know?" his mother asked.
"Daddy picked them up and looked underneath," he replied.
"I think it's printed on the bottom."
The children had all been photographed, and the teacher was
trying to persuade them each to buy a copy of the group
picture. "Just think how nice it will be to look at it when you
are all grownup and say, 'There's Jennifer; she's a lawyer,'
or 'That's Michael. He's a doctor."
A small voice at the back of the room rang out, "And there's
the teacher. She's dead."
