Kids Are Berry Funny |
| After putting her children to bed, a mother
changed into old
slacks and a droopy blouse and
proceeded to wash her hair. As she heard the
children getting more and more rambunctious, her
patience grew thin. At last she threw a towel
around her head and stormed into their room,
putting them back to bed with stern warnings. As she left the room, she heard her three-year-old say with a trembling voice, "Who was that?" |
| Two little boys were visiting their
grandfather, and he took them to a restaurant for lunch. They couldn't make up their minds about what they wanted to eat. Finally the grandfather grinned at the server and said, "Just bring them bread and water." One of the little boys looked up and quavered, "Can I have ketchup on it?"
|
| A mother was telling her little girl what her
own childhood was like: "We used to skate outside
on a pond. I had a swing made from a tire; it hung
from a tree in our front yard. We rode our pony.
We picked wild raspberries in the woods." The
little girl was wide-eyed, taking this in. At last she
said, "I sure wish I'd gotten to know you sooner!"
|
| My grandson was visiting one day when he
asked, "Grandma, do you know how you and God
are alike?" I mentally polished my halo while I
asked, "No, how are we alike?" "You're both old,"
he replied. |
| A little girl was diligently pounding away on her father's word processor. She told him she was writing a story. "What's it about?" he asked. "I don't know," she replied. "I can't read." |
| I didn't know if my granddaughter had
learned her colors yet, so I decided to test her. I
would point out something and ask what color it
was. She would tell me, and always she was
correct. But it was fun for me, so I continued. At
last she headed for the door, saying sagely,
"Grandma, I think you should try to figure out some of these yourself!"

| A ten-year-old, under the tutelage of her
grandmother, was becoming quite knowledgeable
about the Bible. Then one day she floored her
grandmother by asking, "Which Virgin was the
mother of Jesus: the Virgin Mary or the King
James Virgin?"
|
| 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 thy neighbor's wife." |
