You can't beat kids' imagination

It's been a while since I last visited Funnykids.com or checked out the archives at Heartwarmers.com, where there are some anecdotes about children and the amusing things they've said. Fortunately, I get light and funny stuff on email, like this which a friend sent me --

Kids in church

3-year-old Reese:

"Our Father, Who does art in heaven
Harold is His name.
Amen."

A little boy was overheard praying:
"Lord, if you can't make me a better boy, don't worry about it.
I'm having a real good time like I am."

* * * * *

I had been teaching my 3-year-old daughter, Caitlin, the Lord's Prayer for several evenings at bedtime.
She would repeat after me the lines from the prayer.
Finally, she decided to go solo.
I listened with pride as she carefully enunciated each word, right up to the end of the prayer.
"Lead us not into temptation," she prayed,
"but deliver us from E-mail."

Six-year-old Angie and her four-year-old brother, Joel, were sitting together in church.
Joel giggled, sang and talked out loud.
Finally, his big sister had had enough.
"You're not supposed to talk out loud in church."
"Why? Who's going to stop me?" Joel asked.
Angie pointed to the back of the church and said,
"See those two men standing by the door?
They're hushers."

A mother was preparing pancakes for her sons Kevin, 5, and Ryan, 3.
The boys began to argue over who would get the first pancake.
Their mother saw the opportunity for a moral lesson.
"If Jesus were sitting here, he would say,
'Let my brother have the first pancake, I can wait.'?
Kevin turned to his younger brother and said,
"Ryan, you be Jesus!"

A wife invited some people to dinner.
At the table, she turned to her 6-year-old daughter and said,
"Would you like to say the blessing?"
"I wouldn't know what to say," the girl replied.
"Just say what you hear Mommy say," the wife answered.
The daughter bowed her head and said,
"Lord, why on earth did I invite all these people to dinner?"
