| Kids Said It! |
| 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 Sunday school teacher asked, "Now, Johnny, tell me frankly, do you say prayers before eating?" "No, sir," Johnny replied, "I don't have to. My Mom is a good cook." |
| I had been teaching my three year old daughter, Caitlin, the Lord's Prayer. For several evenings at bedtime, she would repeat the lines from the prayer after me. |
| 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." |

| A Child's View of Grandma's and Grandpa's |
| A grandmother is a lady who has no children of her own left at home, so she likes other people's kids. A grandfather is a man grandmother. He likes to go on walks with kids and they talk about fishing and things like that. |
| Grandma's don't have anything to do except to be there. They're old, so they shouldn't play hard or run. They let us ride the pretend horse at K-mart and have plenty of quarters ready. They take us on slow |
| walks and always stop for things like caterpillars and pretty leaves. They never, ever say, "hurry up". Usually they are large, but not too large to tie kids shoes. They wear glasses and funny teeth. They don't have to be smart, only answer questions like, "Why do dogs hate cats" and "How come God isn't married?" They don't talk baby talk like visitors do because it is hard to understand. Everybody should try to have one, because grandmas and grandpas are the only grownups who have the time to listen. |
