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 answered, " Thou shall not kill. "

 

An honest seven-year-old told her parents that Billy Brown had

kissed her after class. " How did that happen? " gasped her mother.

" It wasn't easy, " admitted the young lady, " but three girls helped

me catch him. "

 

One day, a little girl is sitting and watching her mother do the

dishes at the kitchen sink. She suddenly notices that her mother has

several strands of white hair sticking out in contrast on her

brunette head. " Why are some of your hairs white, Mom? " she asks.

Her mother replies, " Well, every time you do something wrong and

make me cry or unhappy, one of my hairs turns white. " The little

girl thinks about this awhile, then asks, " So how come ALL of

Grandma's hairs are white? "

 

For weeks, a six-year old lad kept telling his first-grade teacher

about the baby brother or sister that was expected at his house. One

day the mother allowed the boy to feel the movements of the unborn

child. The six-year old was obviously impressed, but made no

comment. Furthermore, he stopped telling his teacher about the

impending event. The teacher finally sat the boy on her lap and

said, " Tommy, whatever has become of that baby brother or sister you

were expecting at home? " Tommy burst into tears and confessed, " I

think Mommy ate it! "
