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.
Amen."

and 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?"
One bright 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 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?"
