A mother had been teaching her three-year old daughter the Lord's Prayer. For several evenings at bedtime, she would repeat after her the lines from the prayer. Finally,
she decided to go solo. The mother 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." Amen.
And one particular four-year old prayed, "And forgive us our trash baskets as we forgive those who put trash in our baskets."

replied, "Because people are sleeping."
The preacher was wired for sound with a lapel microphone, & as he preached, he moved briskly about the platform, jerking the mike cord as he went. Then he moved to one side,
getting wound up in the cord & nearly tripping before jerking it again. After several circles & jerks, a little girl in the third pew leaned toward her mother & whispered,
"If he gets loose, will he hurt us?"
Six-year old Angie & her four-year old brother Joel were sitting together in church. Joel giggled, sang & 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 & said,
See those two men standing by the
door? They're hushers."
A mother was preparing pancakes for her sons, Kevin, 5, 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 & said, "Ryan, you be Jesus!"
A father was at the beach with his children when his four-year old son ran up to him, grabbed his hand, & led him to the shore, where a seagull lay dead in the sand. Daddy,

At Sunday School they were teaching how God created everything, including human beings. Little Johnny, a child in the kindergarten class, seemed especially intent when
they told him how Eve was created out of one of Adam's ribs. Later in the week his mother noticed him lying as though he was ill, & asked, "Johnny what is the matter?"
Little Johnny responded, "I have a pain in my side. I think I'm going to have a wife!"
A wife invited some people to dinner. At the table, she turned to her
six-year-old daughter and said, "Would you like to say the blessing?"

"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?"

The kid said, "Well, you know they are always talking about Verge n'Mary.
