From the Mouths of Babes

The following is a compilation of 'cutsie-kidsie' sayings that I think you'll find enjoyable. sMiLeS & GiGgLeS to Ya'LL

1.) Some people tell me that I use way too much hair spray. I never believed them until last Sunday when I was holding a rather bouncy 3-year-old on my lap and for lack of things to do, she started fingering a curl that was hanging near my face. "Wow!" she exclaimed (rather loudly) to the people behind us. "Crunchy hair!"

2.) Having battled severe allergies for most of the summer, a young boy came running out of the bedroom one day. Making a bee-line for the Kleenex box he hollered for all to hear, "I'm dripping, again!" As he wiped his nose and then tossed the tissue into the garabage can he muttered, "Man, why do I even have a nose?"

3.) "Is God and Jesus all mixed up?" a 3-year-old quizzed me one day.
"What do you mean?" I politely asked.
"Well, you know," he said as he made a cute little mixing motion with his arm. "Did they get mixed together?"
"Do you mean, 'are they the same?'
The little boy nodded his head.
"Oh yes!" I replied. "There is one God, and Jesus is His Name."
His eyes lit up, as a great big smile spread across his face and he stated, "Good. Then they ARE all mixed up!"

4.) The 1st grade Sunday School Class had just heard a lesson on letting their life shine brightly for the world to see. The teacher turned the lights off and allowed them to play with flashlights for awhile. As the students engaged themselves in quite the rambunctious game of 'ceiling tag' with their flashlight beams, one little girl stood oblivious to the rest. She was shining her light directly above her, making a 'halo' appear on the ceiling. With her adorably-blonde head tilted to the ceiling she breathed, "Wow...I look like an angel!"

5.) Trying to teach a group of young children about the Church being the Bride of Christ, I had decided to use an engaged couple in the local church body as an example. A little later during the discussion we talked about how Jesus has already offered this 'marriage' to us and now all we have to do is accept. A student piped up with one of his ever-ready comments and said, "Yeah, it's like you said...what Nathan did to Carissa." Wanting to know exactly what he was thinking I asked him to explain. "When Nathan asked her to marry him" he replied, "He opposed her!" Ummm...I think he meant proposed to her.

6.) One of my little friends was being quizzed on his knowledge of colors. He answered swiftly and correctly as the teacher pointed to various colors. Eyebrows were raised, however, when the teacher came to the color 'green' and this young lad cheerfully responded with "JOHN DEERE!"
