Kids in Church

A little girl became restless as the preacher's  sermon dragged on and on. Finally, she leaned over to her mother and  whispered, "Mommy, if we give him the money now, will he let us  go?"

Three boys are in the schoolyard bragging about  their fathers. The first boy says, "My Dad scribbles a few words on a  piece of paper, he calls it a poem, they give him $50." The second  boy says, "That's nothing. My Dad scribbles a few words on a piece  of paper, he calls it a song, they give him $100." The third boy  says, "I got you both beat. My Dad scribbles a few
words on a piece of paper, he calls it a sermon, and it takes eight  people to collect  all the money!"

A Sunday school teacher asked the children just  before she dismissed them to go to church, "And why is it necessary to  be quiet in church?" Annie replied, "Because people are  sleeping."

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."
