Kids Tell It Like It Is....in Church
|
A Sunday school teacher asked her class, "What was
Jesus' mother's name?" One child answered, "Mary."
The teacher then asked, "Who knows what Jesus' father's
name was?" A little kid said, "Verge."
Confused, the teacher asked, "Where did you get that?"
The kid said, "Well, you know they are always talking
about Verge n' Mary.''
3-year-old, Reese:
"Our Father, Who does art in heaven, Harold is His name.
Amen."
A little boy was overheard praying:
"Lord, if you can't make me a better boy, don't worry
about it. I'm having a real good time like I am."
A Sunday school class was studying the Ten
Commandments. They were ready to discuss the last one.
The teacher asked if anyone could tell her what it was.
Susie raised her hand, stood tall, and quoted, "Thou shall
not take the covers off the neighbor's wife."
After the christening of his baby brother in church, Jason
sobbed all the way home in the back seat of the car. His
father asked him three times what was wrong. Finally, the
boy replied, "That preacher said he wanted us brought up
in a Christian home, and I wanted to stay with you guys."
I had been teaching my three-year old daughter, Caitlin,
the Lord's Prayer for several evenings at bedtime, she
would repeat after me the lines from the prayer. Finally,
she decided to go solo. I listened with pride as she
carefully enunciated each word right up to the end of the
prayer:
"Lead us not into temptation," she prayed, "but deliver us
some E-mail.
One particular four-year-old prayed, "And forgive us our
trash baskets as we forgive those who put trash in our
baskets."
A Sunday school teacher asked her children, as they were
on the way to church service, "And why is it necessary to
be quiet in church?" One bright little girl replied,
"Because people are sleeping."
Six-year-old Angie and her four-year-old brother Joel
were sitting together in church. Joel giggled, sang, and
talked out loud. Finally, his big sister had had enough.
"You're not supposed to talk out loud in church." "Why?
Who's going to stop me?" Joel asked. Angie pointed to the
back of the church and said, "See those two men standing
by the door? They're hushers."
A 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!"
A father was at the beach with his children when the
four-year-old son ran up to him, grabbed his hand, and led
him to the shore where a seagull lay dead in the sand.
"Daddy, what happened to him?" the son asked. "He died
and went to Heaven," the Dad replied. The boy thought a
moment and then said, "Did God throw him back down?"
A wife invited some people to dinner. At the table, she
turned to their six-year-old daughter and said, "Would
you like to say the blessing?" "I wouldn't know what to
say," the girl replied. "Just say what you hear Mommy
say," the wife answered. The daughter bowed her head
and said, "Lord, why on earth did I invite all these people
to dinner?"
