BIG TROUBLE
A couple had two little boys, ages 8 and 10, who were excessively
mischievous. They were always getting into trouble, and their parents
knew that if any mischief occurred in their town, their sons were
probably involved.
The boys' mother heard that a clergyman in town had been successful in
disciplining children, so she asked if he would speak with her boys.
The clergyman agreed, but asked to see them individually.
So the mother sent her 8-year old first, in the morning, with the older
boy to see the clergyman in the afternoon. The clergyman, a huge man
with a booming voice, sat the younger boy down and asked him sternly.
"Where is God?" The boy's mouth dropped open, but he made no response,
sitting there with his mouth hanging open, wide-eyed. So the clergyman
repeated the question in an even sterner tone, "Where is God!!?" Again,
the boy made no attempt to answer. So, the clergyman raised his voice
even more and shook his finger in the boy's face and bellowed, "WHERE IS
GOD!?"
The boy screamed and bolted from the room, ran directly home and dove
into his closet, slamming the door behind him.
When his older brother found him in the closet, he asked, "What
happened?"
The younger brother, gasping for air, replied, "We are in BIG trouble
this time, dude. God is missing, and they think WE did it!!" |
