| 1. While working for an organization that delivers lunches to elderly shut-ins, I used to take my four-year-old daughter on my afternoon rounds. She was unfailingly intrigued by the various appliances of old age, particularly the canes, walkers and wheelchairs. One day I found her staring at a pair of false teeth soaking in a glass. As I braced myself for the inevitable barrage of questions, she merely turned and whispered, \"The tooth fairy will never believe this!\"
2. 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.\"
3. 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 neighbour\'s wife.\"
4. 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.\"
5. 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!\"
6. 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?\"
