Gotta Love Kids!

When my kids were little I began keeping a journal of funny things they said that I knew I wouldn't remember unless I wrote them down.  A few years back, I found that journal among a pile of books boxed up in the attic.  It's a treasure to me now that they're older and have kiddos of their own.

My friend Don Kelstrom sent along some amazingly insightful stories from kids and I wanted to share them with you.  Thanks, Don!

A Kindergarten teacher was observing her classroom of children while  
they were drawing. She would occasionally walk around to see each child's work.
As she got to one little girl who was working diligently, she asked what the drawing was.
The girl replied, 'I'm drawing God.'
The teacher paused and said, 'But no one knows what God looks like'.
Without missing a beat, or looking up from her drawing, the girl  
replied, 'They will in a minute'.

A Sunday school teacher was discussing the Ten Commandments with her five and six year olds.
After explaining the commandment to 'honor' thy Father and thy Mother,  
she asked, 'Is there a commandment that teaches us how to treat our brothers and sisters?'
Without missing a beat one little boy (the oldest of a family) answered, 'Thou shall not kill.'

One day a little girl was sitting and
watching her mother do the dishes at the kitchen sink. She suddenly  
noticed that her mother had several strands of white hair sticking out  
in contrast on her brunette head.
She looked at her mother and inquisitively asked, 'Why are some of your hairs white, Mum?'
Her mother replied, 'Well, every time that you do something wrong and  
make me cry or unhappy, one of my hairs turns white.'
The little girl thought about this revelation for a while and then  
said, 'Mummy, how come ALL of grandma's hairs are white?'

The children had all been photographed, and the teacher was trying to  
persuade them each to buy a copy of the group picture.
'Just think how nice it will be to look at it when you are all grown up  
and say, 'There's Jennifer, she's a lawyer,' or 'That's Michael, He's a doctor.'
A small voice at the back of the room rang out, 'And there's the teacher, she's dead.'

A teacher was giving a lesson on the circulation of the blood. Trying to make the matter clearer, she  
said, 'Now, class, if I stood on my head, the blood, as you know, would run into it, and I would turn red in the face.'
'Yes,' the class said.
'Then why is it that while I am standing upright in the ordinary position the blood doesn't run into my feet?'
A little fellow shouted, 'Cause your feet ain't empty'.

The children were lined up in the cafeteria of a Catholic elementary  
school for lunch. At the head of the table was a large pile of apples..  
The nun made a note, and posted on the apple tray:
'Take only ONE . God is watching.'
Moving further along the lunch line, at the other end of the table was  
a large pile of chocolate chip cookies.
A child had written a note, 'Take all you want. God is watching the apples'.
