If you have kids,
somewhere down the line, something like this has probably happened to
you.. sometimes several times.. C
Ever notice how a 4 year
old's voice is louder than 200 adult voices? Several years ago, I
returned home from a trip just when a storm hit, with crashing thunder
and severe lightning. As I came into my bedroom about 2 a.m., I found my
two children in bed with my wife, Karey, apparently scared by the loud
storm. I resigned myself to sleep in the guest bedroom that night. The
next day, I talked to the children, and explained that
was O.K. to sleep with Mom when the storm was bad, but when I was
expected home,
please don't sleep with Mom that night. They said OK.
After my next trip several
weeks later, Karey and the children picked me up in the terminal at the
appointed time. Since the plane was late, everyone had come into the
terminal to wait for my plane's arrival, along with hundreds of other
folks waiting for their arriving passengers. As I entered the waiting
area, my son saw me, and came running
shouting, "Hi, Dad! I've got some good news!" As I waved back,
I said loudly, "What's
the good news?"
"Nobody slept with
Mommy while you were away this time!" Alex shouted.
The airport became very
quiet, as everyone in the waiting area looked at Alex, then turned to
me, and then searched the rest of the area to see if they could figure
out exactly who his Mom was.

An acquaintance of mine
who is a physician told this story about her then 4 yr. old daughter. On
the way to preschool, the doctor had left her stethoscope on the car
seat, and her little girl picked it up and began playing with it. 'Be
still, my heart,' thought my friend, 'my daughter wants to follow in my
footsteps!' Then the child spoke into the
instrument: "Welcome to McDonald's. May take your order?"

A certain little girl,
when asked her name, would reply, "I'm Mr. Sugarbrown's
daughter." Her mother told her this was wrong, she must say,
"I'm Jane Sugarbrown." The Vicar spoke to her in Sunday
School, and said, "Aren't you Mr. Sugarbrown's daughter?" She
replied, "I thought I was, but mother says I'm not."
--------------------------------------------
A little girl asked her
mother, "Can I go outside and play with the boys?" Her mother
replied, "No, you can't play with the boys, they're too
rough." The little girl thought about it for a few moments and
asked, "If I can find a smooth one, can I play with him?"

A Sunday school teacher
asked her little children, as they were on the way to church service,
"And why is it necessary to be quiet in church?" One bright
little girl replied, "Because people are sleeping."

A little boy opened the
big and old family Bible with fascination, he looked at the old pages as
he turned them. Then something fell out of the Bible and he picked up
and looked at it closely. It was an old leaf from a tree that had been
pressed in between pages. "Momma, look what I found," the boy
called out. "What have you got there, dear?" his mother asked.
With astonishment in the young boy's voice he answered: "It's
Adam's suit!!!!!"

At the beginning of a
children's sermon, one girl came up to the altar wearing a beautiful
dress. As the children were sitting down around the pastor, he leaned
over and said to the girl, "That is a very pretty dress. Is it your
Easter dress?" The girl replied almost directly into the pastor's
clip-on mic, "Yes, and my Mom says it's a bitch to iron."

A little girl goes to the
barber shop with her father. She stands next to the barber chair, while
her dad gets his hair cut, eating a snack cake. The barber says to her,
"Sweetheart, you're gonna get hair on your Twinkie." She says,
"Yes, I know, and I'm gonna get boobs too."
