Role Model
Asking our son to put his dirty clothes in the
hamper where they should be seemed to cause him
confusion. So I explained that he should put them
in the place where we put our dirty clothes before
we wash them. Then he lightened up, gathered the
pile of clothes, went into our room and put them on
his Daddy’s side of the bed, on the floor.
Mealtime Prayer
It was an exceptionally hot day, and they were
having company for dinner. Mother asked little
5 year old Jason to ask grace before the meal.
“But Mother what should I say?” asked Jason. “Just
say what you hear me say,” said his mother. Little
Jason bowed his head and said, “Dear Lord, why
did I invite people over on a hot day like this?”

Time of Peace

Report Card
Jimmy brought home his report card, and his father
wasn’t very pleased. “Just look at Tommy Sparks,”
said his father, “he is always at the head of his
class.”
“But, Dad, you have to remember, he has really
smart parents.
Surprise
A mother was starting out of the house to attend
a party. One of her seven children said, “Mother,
please let us go with you.”
“No, children, this is a surprise party,” she told
them. The child thought for a second and said, “Wouldn’t
the lady be more surprised if you brought the seven
of us along?”
Eskimo Child
An Eskimo mother was sitting in the igloo and
reading from a storybook to her small son.
“Little Jack Horner,” she read, “sat in a corner.”
“Mother,” said the small son, “what’s a corner?”
Gray Hairs
“Amy, every time you are bad, I get another gray
hair.”
“Golly!” replied Amy, “You must have been a terror.
Just look at grandma!”
Sunday School Lesson
The little boy went home from Sunday School and told
his mother about Moses and the Red Sea crossing. “Moses
got behind the enemy lines,” the child said, “and he had
his engineers build a pontoon bridge across the Red Sea.
Moses’ people crossed over.
When his spies told him a corps of Egyptian tanks were
about to cross the bridge, he got on his walkie-talkie
and ordered his air force to blow up the bridge. The air
force blew it up and the Israelites were saved.”
“Are you sure that’s the story the Sunday School teacher
told you?” the mother asked.
“No,” said the boy, “but you wouldn’t believe the way the
teacher told it!”
