IF YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND LIFE, JUST ASK THE KIDS
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," she said, "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 his 4-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?"
After the church service a little boy told the pastor, "When I grow up, I'm going to
give you some money." "Well, thank you," the pastor replied, "but
why?"
"Because my daddy says you're one of the poorest preachers we've ever had."
A wife invited some people to dinner. At the table, she turned to their 6-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?"
A mother was teaching her 3-year-old the Lord's Prayer. For
several evenings at bedtime, the child repeated it after the mother. Then one night the
child was ready to solo. The mother listened with pride to the carefully enunciated words,
right up to the end. "...And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us some
e-mail..."
A little boy opened the big, 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, the young boy answered, "I think it's Adam's underwear!"
A father was reading Bible stories to his young son. He read, "The man named Lot was
warned to take his wife and flee out of the city, but his wife looked back and was turned
to salt."
His son then asked, "What happened to the flea?"
A 3-year-old boy went with his dad to see a litter of kittens. On returning home, he
breathlessly informed his mother, "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."
A 3-year-old put his shoes on by himself. His mother noticed that the left shoe was on the
right foot.
She said, "Son, your shoes are on the wrong feet."
He looked up at her with a raised brow and said, "Don't kid me, Mom. They're the only
feet I got!"
On the first day of school, about midmorning, the kindergarten teacher said, "If
anyone has to go to the bathroom, hold up two fingers."
A little voice from the back of the room asked, "How will that help?"
