Some great things kids say--what a smile they can bring,,,
SOMETIMES KIDS ARE THE ONLY ONES WHO MAKE SENSE
A three-year-old boy went with his dad to see a litter of
kittens. On returning home, he breathlessly informed his
mother, "There were 2 boy kittens and 2 girl kittens."
"How did you know?" his mother asked.
"Daddy picked them up and looked underneath," he replied.
"I think it's printed on the bottom."
Another three-year-old put his shoes on by himself. His
mother noticed that the left shoe was on the right foot.
She said, "Son, your shoes are on the wrong feet."
He looked up at her with a raised brow and said, "Don't kid
me, Mom. They're the only feet I got!"
On the first day of school, about midmorning, the
kindergarten teacher said, "If anyone has to go to the
bathroom, hold up two fingers." A little voice from the back
of the room asked, "How will that help?"
A mother and her young son returned from the grocery store
and began putting away the groceries. The boy opened the
box of animal crackers and spread them all over the table.
"What are you doing?" his mother
asked. "The box says not to eat them if the seal is broken,"
the boy explained. "I'm looking for the seal."
A mother was preparing pancakes for her sons, Kevin, five,
and Ryan, three. 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 his
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?"
A father was reading Bible stories to his young son. He
read, "The man named Lot was warned to take his wife and
flee out of the city, but his wife looked back and was
turned to salt." His son asked, "What happened to the flea?"
An acquaintance of mine who is a physician told this story
about her then-four-year-old daughter. On the way to
preschool, the doctor had left her stethoscope on the car
seat, and her little girl picked it up and began playing
with it. Be still, my heart, thought my friend, my daughter
wants to follow in my footsteps! Then the child spoke into
the instrument: "Welcome to McDonald's.
May I take your order?
There are lots of ways to warm the heart. Children do it for me. Take some time today and connect with those that do warm your heart. Your own chidlren, your friend's kids, the next door neighbor, your nieces or nephews, just take the time to laugh and smile today. Great medicine for the heart!
Have a great day!
