From the Mouths of Babes Children say the most wonderful things

Trash Talking
A grandfather overheard his grandson praying: "And forgive us our trash baskets as we forgive those who put trash in our baskets!"

Hushers
Little Angie and her brother Joel were sitting together in church. Joel began to giggle and talk out loud. Finally, his big sister had had enough.
"You're not suppose to make noise 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!"

The First Thing to Go...
Grandpa had lost all of his hair and was as bald as an eagle. His granddaughter was sitting on his lap and rubbing his head. Finally she said: "Grandpa, why has your head grown up through your hair?"

Shhhh
A Sunday school teacher asked her children as they were on their way to the church service, "And why is it necessary to be quiet in church?" One bright little girl replied: "Because people are sleeping!"

Cashing In
While working for an organization that delivers lunches to elderly shut-ins, one grandfather used to take his little grandson with him. The grandson was so amazed with the various appliances of old age, particularly the canes, walkers, and wheelchairs. One day as he was staring at a pair of false teeth soaking in a glass by the bed, he said: "Grandpa, the tooth fairy will never believe this!"

After a day at school, Chris was describing his new teacher. "She's mean, but she's fair." "How's that," asked his mother. "At least she's mean to everyone!"

My Kind of Diet
A grandhild's idea of a balanced meal is a piece of cake in each hand.

Dirt—A Boy's Best Friend
A 3-year-old boy didn't like the routine of being scrubbed, especially with soap.

"Son, don't you want to be nice and clean?" his mother asked.

"Sure," replied the little boy, "but can't you just dust me?"

Why Not? He Said It?
A 2-year-old watched his pastor on TV every morning. The minister always closed the program with "God bless you and have a good day."

One day the child fell and hurt himself, and his mother overheard this prayer: "God bless me and have a good day."

Love Notes
A group of kids were asked some questions about love and marriage. We hope you enjoy their answers as much as we did.

It gives me a headache to think about that stuff. I'm just a kid. I don't need that kind of trouble.
(Kenny, 7)

If falling in love is anything like learning to spell, I don't want to do it. It takes too long to learn.
(Leo, 7)

(Concerning why people in love hold hands.) They want to make sure their rings don't fall off because they paid good money for them.
(David, 8)

Beauty is skin deep, but how rich you are can last a long time.
(Christine, 9)

Be a good kisser. It might make your wife forget that you never take the trash out.
(Randy, 8)

(What is the proper age to get married?) Once I'm done with kindergarten, I'm going to find me a wife.
(Tommy, 5)

To Be Like Jesus
A mother was preparing breakfast for her sons:

The boys began to argue over who would ge the first pancake. Their mother sawthe opportunity for a moral lesson.

"If Jesus were sitting here, He would say, 'Let my brother have the first pancake. I can wait.'"

Five-year-old Kevin turned to his brother and said, "Ryan, you be Jesus!"
