>> After the christening of his baby brother in church,

>> 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.

>> 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,

>> 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, Ryan 3. The boys began to argue over who would get
>> the first pancake.
>> Their mother saw the opportunity for a moral lesson.

>> "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.

>> "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?"
