A mother was preparing pancakes for her sons, Kevin, 5, and Ryan, 3. The
boys began to argue over who would get the first pancake. Their mother saw
the opportunity for a moral lesson. If Jesus were sitting here, He would
say, “Let my brother have the first pancake. I can wait.” Kevin turned to
his younger brother and said, “Ryan, you be Jesus.”

A father was reading Bible stories to his young son. He read, “The man
named Lot was warned to take his wife and flee out of the city, but his wife
looked back and was turned to salt.” His son asked, “What happened to the
flea?”

Another three-year-old put his shoes on by himself. His mother noticed that
the left shoe was on the right foot. She said, “Son, your shoes are on the
wrong feet.” He looked up at her with a raised brow and said, “Don’t kid
me, Mom. They’re the only feet I got!”

On the first day of school, about mid-morning, the kindergarten teacher
said, “If anyone has to go to the bathroom, hold up two fingers.” A little
voice from the back of the room asked, “How will that help?”

A mother and her young son returned from the grocery store and began putting
away the groceries. The boy opened the box of animal crackers and spread
them all over the table. “What are you doing?” his mother asked. “The box
says not to eat them if the seal is broken” the boy explained. “I’m looking
for the seal.”
