Kids Say the Darndest
Things
Part 1
A friend of mine teaches 2nd grade at a Christian
school. Not too long ago, she posted this on her Facebook page: "Today a
student of mine drew a picture of God in heaven painting a picture. His
explanation? "Our Father who does art in heaven, hallowed be your
name!'"
Last year when I helped out with the preschoolers in Sunday
School one of them tugged on my skirt and we had this conversation,
Child: “You know what I want to be when I grow up?”
Me: “What do you want to be when you grow up?”
Child: “A humpback whale.”
My 3 yr old grandson was taking a bath as I worked in
another room. He likes to play with bath toys for as long as possible until his
mother or I tell him he has to get out. This particular night, he had played
for a very long time and I became concerned the water had grown cold. So I
walked in the bathroom without saying anything to him and stuck my finger in
the bath water to feel its temperature. Then, I said as much to myself as to
him, “Oh, good. It’s still warm.” He looked up, smiled, and sincerely
exclaimed, “And its still wet too!”
