KIDS
WHAT IS LOVE?
A
group of professional people posed this question to a group of four through
eight-year-olds, "What does love mean?"
-"Love is that first feeling you feel before all the bad stuff gets in the way."
-"When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her
toenails any more. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his
hands got arthritis too. That's Love."
-"When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You know that
your name is safe in their mouth."
-"Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they
go out and smell each other."
-"Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your french fries
without making them give you any of theirs."
-"Love is what makes you smile when you're tired."
-"Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents
and listen."
-"If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you
hate."
"When you tell someone something bad about yourself and you're scared they won't
love you any more. But then you get surprised because not only do they still
love you, they love you even more."
-"When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come
out of you."
THE WEDDING
Attending a wedding for the first time, a little girl whispered to her mother, "Why is the bride dressed in white?" "Because white is the color of happiness, and today is the happiest day of her life." The child thought about this for a moment, then said, "So why is the groom wearing black?"
RUNNING LATE
A little girl, dressed in her Sunday best, was running as fast as she could, trying not to be late for Bible class. As she ran she prayed, "Dear Lord, please don't let me be late! Dear Lord, please don't let me be late!" While she was running and praying, she tripped on a curb and fell, getting her clothes dirty and tearing her dress. She got up, brushed herself off, and started running again. As she ran she once again began to pray, "Dear Lord, please don't let me be late...But please don't shove me either!"
TOP THAT!
Three boys are in the school yard bragging about their fathers. The first boy says, "My Dad scribbles a few words on a piece of paper, he calls it a poem, they give him $50." The second boy says, "That's nothing. My Dad scribbles a few words on a piece of paper, he calls it a song, give him $100." The third boy says, "I got you both beat. My Dad scribbles a few words on a piece of paper, he calls it a sermon, and it takes eight people to collect all the money!"
SUNDAY SCHOOL
A Sunday school teacher asked her class why Joseph and Mary took Jesus with them to Jerusalem. A small child replied: "They couldn't get a baby sitter." She next asked them about the commandments and was there one on how to treat brothers and sisters. One boy answered, "Thou shalt not kill."
Later, she was teaching how God created everything, including human beings. Little Johnny seemed especially intent when she told him how Eve was created out of one of Adam's ribs. Later in the week his mother noticed him lying down as though he were ill, and said, "Johnny, what is the matter?" Little Johnny responded, "I have pain in my side. I think I'm going to have a wife."
One 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."
AFTER SUNDAY SCHOOL
Two boys were walking home from Sunday school after hearing a strong preaching on the devil. One said to the other, "What do you think about all this Satan stuff?" The other boy replied, "Well, you know how Santa Claus turned out. It's probably just your Dad.
STORMY NIGHT
One summer evening, during a violent thunderstorm, a mother was tucking her
small boy into bed. She was about to turn off the light when he asked with a
tremor in his voice, "Mommy, will you sleep with me tonight?"
The mother smiled and gave him a reassuring hug. "I can't dear," she said. "I
have to sleep in daddy's room."
A long silence was broken at last by his shaking little voice, "The big sissy."
PRAYER TO THE LORD
"Our Father, Who does art in heaven, Harold is His name. Amen."
"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."
...and one particular four-year-old prayed, "And forgive us our trash baskets as
we forgive those who put trash in our baskets."
LORD'S PRAYER
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. Amen."
THE TENTH COMMANDMENT
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."
THE CHRISTENING
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."
THE SERVICE
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."
MORAL OR LESS
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 and said, "Ryan, you be Jesus!"
GONE TO HEAVEN
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?"

'No, ma'am, but I hate to see you standing there all by yourself!'<><><>

The math teacher saw that little Johnny wasn't paying attention in class. She called on him and said, 'Johnny! What are 2 and 4 and 28 and 44?' Little Johnny quickly replied, 'ABC, FOX, Movie Channel and the Cartoon Network!'

Little Johnny's kindergarten class was on a field trip to their local police station where they saw pictures tacked to a bulletin board of the 10 most wanted criminals. One of the youngsters pointed to a picture and asked if it really was the photo of a wanted person.
'Yes,' said the policeman. 'The detectives really want to capture him.'
Little Johnny asked, 'Why didn't you keep him when you took his picture?'<><><>
Little Johnny attended a horse auction with his father. He watched as his father moved from horse to horse, running his hands up and down the horse's legs and rump.
After a few minutes, Johnny asked, 'Dad, why are you doing that?'
His father replied, 'Because when I'm buying horses, I have to make sure that they are healthy and in good shape before I buy.
Johnny, looking worried, said, 'Dad, I think the Telstra guy wants to buy Mum.'WALKING THE DOG
A little girl asked her Mum, "Mum, may I take the dog for a walk around the block?"
Mum replies, "No, because she is in heat."
"What's that mean?" asked the child.
"Go ask your father. I think he's in the garage."
The little girl goes to the garage and says, "Dad, may I take Belle for a walk around the block? I asked Mum, but she said the dog was in heat, and to come to you."
Dad said, "Bring Belle over here. He took a rag, soaked it with petrol, and scrubbed the dog's backside with it to disguise the scent, and said "OK, you can go now, but keep Belle on the leash and only go one time round the block."
The little girl left and returned a few minutes later with no dog on the leash. Surprised, Dad asked, "Where's Belle?"
