KIDS AND GOD
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 are always talking about Verge n' Mary.

A Sunday school class was studying the Ten Commandments.

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?" A 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 don'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?"
