NEVER ARGUE WITH CHILDREN
A Kindergarten teacher was observing her classroom of children while they
drew. She would occasionally walk around to see each child's work. As she got
to one little girl who was working diligently, she asked what the drawing was?
The girl replied, "I'm drawing God." The teacher paused and said,
"But no one knows what God looks like." Without missing a beat, or looking
up from her drawing, the girl replied, "They will in a minute.” A Sunday school teacher was discussing the Ten Commandments with her five
and six year olds. After explaining the commandment to "honor" thy Father
and thy Mother, she asked, "Is there a commandment that teaches us how to
treat our brothers and sisters?" One
little boy (the oldest of a family) answered, "Thou shall not kill." One day a little girl was sitting and watching her mother do the dishes
at the kitchen sink. She suddenly noticed that her mother has several strands
of white hair sticking out in contrast on her brunette head. She looked at her
mother and inquisitively asked, "Why are some of your hairs white,
Mom?" Her
mother replied, "Well, every time you do something wrong and make me cry
or unhappy, one of my hairs turns white." The
little girl thought about this revelation for a while and then said,
"Momma, how come ALL of Grandma's hairs are white?" The children had all been photographed, and the teacher was trying to persuade
them each to buy a copy of the group picture. "Just think how nice it will
be to look at it when you are all grownup and say 'There's Jennifer; she's a
lawyer,' or 'That's Michael. He's a doctor.'" A
small voice at the back of the room rang out, "And there's the teacher...
She's dead." A teacher was giving a lesson on the circulation of the blood. Trying
to make the matter clearer, she said, "Now, class, if I stood on my head, the
blood, as you know, would run into it, and I would turn red in the face." "Yes,"
the class said. "Then why is it that while I am standing upright in the
ordinary position the blood doesn't run into my feet?" A
little fellow shouted, "Cause your feet ain't empty." The children were lined up in the cafeteria of a Catholic elementary school
for lunch. At the head of the table was a large pile of apples. The nun made a note,
and posted on the apple tray: "Take only ONE. God is watching." Moving
further along the lunch line, at the other end of the table was a large pile of
chocolate chip cookies. A child had written a note, "Take all you want... God is watching the apples.” |
