The Lord's Prayer, which runs. . .
Our Father, which art in heaven
Hallowed be Thy Name
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done
On earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread
and forgive us our debts
as we forgive our debtors
Lead us not into temptation
but deliver us from evil
For thine is the kingdom and the power
and the glory forever.
... has always been easy for kids to misinterpret, either through poor pulpit communciators or from mumblers in the congregations.
One little fella prayed,
"Our Father, which art in heaven,
Harold be Thy name."
A little girl intoned, "Give us this day our jelly bread."
Or the little New York boy who petitioned God to,
"Lead us not into Penn Station."

After hearing the Christmas story, and singing "Silent Night" a Sunday School Class in Sao Paulo, Brazil was asked to draw what they thought the Nativity Scene might have looked like. . . .
One little fellow did a good likeness of Joseph, Mary and the baby Jesus, but off to the side was a roly-poly figure...
The teacher, afraid that he had somehow worked St. Nick into the scene asked him who that was. She wasn't sure whether she was relieved or even more worried when the boy responded, "Oh, that's Round John Virgin."
