A Few Chuckles
My coworker's 3-year-old son, Reese: "Our Father, Who does art in heaven, Harold is His name." " Amen"
--------------------------------------------------

A little boy was overheard praying: "Lord, if you can't make me a better boy, don't worry about it. I'm having a real good time like I am."
---------------------------------------------------
A Sunday school class was studying the Ten Commandments. They were ready to discuss the last one. The teacher asked if anyone could tell her what it was. Susie raised her hand, stood tall, and quoted, "Thou shall not take the covers off the neighbor's wife."
----------------------------------------------------
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, 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?"

Baptist Dog A Baptist couple felt it important to own an equally Baptist pet, so they went shopping. At a kennel specializing in Baptist dogs, they found one they liked a lot.

When they asked the dog to fetch the Bible, he did so in a flash. When they instructed him to look up Psalm 23, he complied equally fast, using his paws with incredible dexterity. Impressed, they purchased the animal and went home.

That night, they had friends over. They were so proud of their new Baptist dog and his skills, that they called the dog and showed off a little. The friends were impressed and asked whether the dog could do any of the usual dog tricks as well. This stopped the couple cold, as they hadn't thought of normal dog tricks.

"Well," they said, "let's try it out." Once more they called the dog in and they clearly pronounced the command, "Heel." Quick as a wink, the dog jumped up, put his paw on the man's forehead, closed his eyes in concentration, and bowed his head.

It was then that the couple realized they'd been deceived and defrauded. Obviously, the dog was Pentecostal.
