Kid's say the darnest things
From a couple of E-mails... Compiled the few that I found exceptionally funny...
From Jen Schwint: My three-year-old daughter exclaimed very loudly at a funeral, during the moment of silence, "WHAT's IN THE BOX?" Gotta love them!
From Jennifer Raehl: My then two year old was trying very hard to remember her Bible memory verse the day of her sister's birthday party. After being prompted several times with "For God so loved...", she finally said, "For God so loved the world that He gave us cake."
From Randy Karlberg: My wife told our son "Tobin, don't walk around the house naked!" Tobin replied, "Mom, I'm not naked! I have my socks on!"
From Craig Bottomley (Australia): Many years ago when my brother was only 3 or 4 years old, our family would have a devotional time after dinner. my brother often asked if he could do the Bible reading, but being so young was told repeatedly that he couldn't because he wasn't able to read. One evening after being particularly persistent, our father suggested that he would whisper the reading to my brother and then he could repeat out loud for everyone else to hear. All went well until Dad got to the bit about "and Jesus went to Caeserea-Phillipi" (Mark 8:27), which my brother repeated as "and Jesus went to see her ear full of pie."
From Jason Tate: My son, who just turned 4, was very proud of himself for learning a Bible verse in his class at our church's recent VBS. One afternoon, our conversation went as follows:
Me: "Chris, can you say your verse for me?"
Chris: "Luke 19:10 - The Son of Man is come to seek and to save that which was lost."
I told him how wonderful he was, and then I wanted to know if he knew what the verse meant, so -
Me: "Who is the Son of Man?"
Chris: "Jesus!"
Me: "And who did He come to save?"
Chris: "The witch."
From Lindy Revell: My daughter took my 4-year-old granddaughter to visit her mother-in-law whose mother had died. On the way she was telling my granddaughter how bad it made the lady feel and was coaxing her in things she could say to this lady. She said, "You can tell her you are sorry about her mother. Can you say that?" And my granddaughter replied, "Why? I didn't kill her!"
From Rob Watson (UK): My son Jotham when he was 3-years-old was playing out in the yard. When suddenly he came running into the house clutching a lifeless bug in his hands. He held it up to my wife and exclaimed, "Quick, Mummy, its batteries have run out!"
