CHILD CHUCKLES (The Funny Things Kids Say)
A Blog by Rev. Grace Verrier
Today my stomach hurt. I used every muscle in it trying to control my laughter. I was teaching on Adam and Eve and I had a little boy in my class who comes from a family of nine.
My question to the class was, “What did God tell Adam and Eve to do after they ate the forbidden fruit in the garden?” I expected the answer to be, “God told them to leave the garden.”
The little boy from the large family started shaking his hand wildly shouting, “I know! I know! I know!” When I asked him what his answer was, he said, “God told them to be fruitful and multiply just like my mom and dad say.
Later, I told his parents what he had said and they explained how he had taken their words totally out of context. I then told the parents, “I’ll believe only one-half of what they tell me about you if you will believe only one-half of what they tell you about me.” When you serve in children’s ministry that is very good advice.
