A mother allowed her daughter to go to church with friends one Sunday. When the little girl got home, the mother asked her if she was a good little girl at church. She explained, “Yes, Mother. A man even offered me a big plate of money and I said, ‘No, thank you’.”
The crowded school bus pulled to the curb to make way for a speeding fire truck. The children were fascinated by the Dalmatian seated beside the fireman. One child asked why the firemen have the dog with them. Another child said it was to bark at the crowds to keep them away. A third child said he was there for good luck. The discussion ended when one lad explained, “They use the dog to find the fire hydrant!” That made sense!
A little girl, enchanted by her new baby cousin, asked her mother, “Can we have a baby?” The mother replied, “I don’t believe so, darling. They cost too much.” When the little girl asked how much, the mother said, “Oh, about $40,000.” The youngster thought for a moment, then said, “That’s not very much, when you consider how long they last!”
A teacher asked her students, “If you had 10 potatoes and had to divide them among 12 people, how would you do it? One child replied, “Mash ‘em!” (My answer exactly!)
A woman came home from a nearby farm with two buckets of cow manure for her garden. “What’s that for?” asked 6 year old Kelly. The strawberries,” Mom answered. After staring at the buckets for a moment, Kelly asked, “Can I just have mine with whipped cream?”
Monika in Virginia sent this kids’ quote from her nephew's wife:
Just to let you know that even the little ones are listening - Yesterday after the sermon concerning the Ten Commandments, I asked my 5 year old son, Ross, what he learned from the preacher in "Big Church." He replied, "Don't cut up your neighbor's wife and don't cut up your neighbor's house." He knows a lot of words, but "covet" is a new one for him!

Lisa in Virginia shares about her son’s quote:
Last week Joshua (age 5 1/2) was helping me make zucchini bread. After we added the zucchini, Josh said "Now we add the water." I told him we didn't need to add water since vegetables were made mostly of water already. He looked up at me in amazement and said "Wow! How does God do that?" !
