Reasons not to mess with a child...
A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales. The teacher said it was physically impossible
for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was very small.
The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale. Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could
not swallow a human; it was physically impossible. The little girl said, "When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah".
The teacher asked, " What if Jonah went to hell?" The little girl replied, "Then you ask him".
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 "honour" 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, Mom?" 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, "Momma, 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.
Poetry by Fratyak
I walk the
road paved by others.
Its a nice road, a safe road.
But it is not the road of happiness.
The road of happiness is blocked
By the constructors of the road
Paved by others.
The only way to walk
The road of happiness
Is to burst through the uncertain wall.
