Our Sense of Humor

That Was Some Sort Of Potent Parable, Padre

Gems From The Mouths of Babes

One Sunday morning, the pastor noticed little APRIL standing in the foyer of the church staring up at a large plaque. It was covered with names with small American flags mounted on either side of it.

The seven year old had been staring at the plaque for some time, so the pastor walked up, stood beside the little girl, and said quietly, "Good morning April."

"Good morning Pastor," she replied, still focused on the plaque.

"Pastor, what is this?" she asked the pastor.

The pastor said, "Well, dear, it's a memorial to all the brave young men and women who died in the service to our great country - America."

Soberly, they just stood together, staring at the imposing bronze plaque. Finally, little Alex's voice, barely audible and trembling with fear, asked, "Which service, the 9:45 or the 11:15?"

I Love You So Much...
STEVEN (age 3) hugged and kissed his Mom goodnight. "I love you so much, that when you die I'm going to bury you outside my bedroom window."

How Could It Know?
BRITTANY (age 4) had an earache and wanted a pain-killer. She tried in vain to take the lid off the bottle. Seeing her sense of helpless frustration, her Mom explained it was a childproof cap and she'd have to open it for her. Eyes wide with wonder, the little girl asked: "How does it know it's me?"

Juicy Juice
SUSAN (age 4) was drinking juice when she got the hiccups. "Please don't give me this juice again," she said, "It makes my teeth cough."

This Measures What?
Drew (age 4) stepped onto the bathroom scale and asked: "How much do I cost?"

Sweet Nothings...
MARC (age 4) was engrossed in a young couple that were hugging and kissing in a restaurant. Without taking his eyes off them, he asked his dad: "Why is he whispering in her mouth?"

Tight Squeeze
CLINTON (age 5) was in his bedroom looking worried. When his Mom asked what was troubling him, he replied, "I don't know what'll happen with this bed when I get married. How will my wife fit in?"

What?
JAMES (age 4) was listening to a Bible story. His dad read: "The man named Lot was warned to take his wife and flee out of the city but his wife looked back and was turned to salt." Concerned, James asked: "What happened to the flea?"

Check The Fit, Please
TAMMY (age 4) was with her mother when they met an elderly, rather wrinkled woman her Mom knew. Tammy looked at her for awhile and then asked, "Why doesn't your skin fit your face?"

Only From The Mouths of Babes...
The Sermon I think this Mom will never forget.... this particular Sunday sermon..."Dear Lord," the minister began, with arms extended toward heaven and a rapturous look on his upturned face. "Without you, we are but dust." He would have continued but at that moment my very obedient daughter (who was listening!) Leaned over to me and asked quite audibly in her shrill little girl voice, "Mommy, what is butt dust?"

We Give A Break For Young Boys
A little boy attended church for the first time with his father. Near the end of the service, he watched with fascination as the ushers walked from row to row and passed the offering plates around the congregation.

When their usher approached their row, the little fellow whispered loudly: “Dont pay for me, Daddy. I’m under five!”
