The group had surrounded a dog.
Concerned the boys were hurting the dog, the reverend went over and asked, “What are you doing with that dog?”
One of the boys replied, “This dog is just an old neighborhood stray. We all want him, but only one of us can take him home. So we’ve decided that whichever one of us can tell the biggest lie will get to keep the dog.”
The reverend was taken aback, “You boys shouldn’t be having a contest telling lies!” he exclaimed.
He then launched into a 10-minute sermon against lying, beginning, “Don’t you boys know it’s a sin to lie?” and ending with, “Why, when I was your age, I never told a lie.”
There was dead silence for about a minute. Just as the reverend was beginning to think he’d gotten through to them, the smallest boy gave a deep sigh and said, “All right, give him the dog.”
The father of five children won a toy at a raffle.
He called his kids together to ask which one should have the present.
“Who is the most obedient?”, he asked.
“Who never talks back to mother?
Who does everything she says?”
Five small voices answered in unison:
“Okay Dad, you get the toy!”
Kid stuff
A very dirty little fellow came in from playing in the yard and asked his mother, “Who am I?”
Ready to play the game she said, “I don’t know! Who are you?”
“WOW!” cried the child. “Mrs Johnson was right! She said I was so dirty, my own mother wouldn’t recognise me!”
Exam scare
Father to son after exam: “Let me see your report card.”
Son: “My friend just borrowed it. He wants to scare his parents.”
Young wisdom
A man comes to dinner at a new friend’s house. While they eat, the new friend’s small son keeps staring at the guest. Finally, the guest says, “Why are you staring at me like that, young fellow?”
The kid says, “Daddy told me you were a self-made man.”
“I am.”
“Well, why did you make yourself like that?”
