I was testing children in my Glasgow Sunday school class to see if they
understood the concept of getting to heaven.

I asked them, 'If I sold my house and my car, had a big jumble sale and gave all my money to the church, would that get me into heaven?'

'NO!' the children answered.

'If I cleaned the church every day, mowed the garden, and kept everything tidy, would that get me into heaven?'

Again, the answer was 'No!' By now I was starting to smile.

'Well, then, if I was kind to animals and gave sweeties to all the children,
and loved my husband, would that get me into heaven?'

Again, they all answered 'No!'. I was just bursting with pride for them.

I continued, ' Then how can I get into heaven?'

A six year-old boy shouted out 'YUV GOTTAE BE FUCKN' DEAD...'

I should add that she was really embarrassed when my mom explained to her that it was grown up words and not little girl words. She was just trying out a new vocabulary and she didn't know that was not something she should be saying.

She's the queen of context and her verbal skills are amazing to me. And she's really good about not using certain words after it's explained that those are grown up words and not for little girls to use.

Not to worry. When my son (now almost 12! and a non-swearing kid) was that age, he piped up at the dinner table, "This table cloth is pissing me off!" I blamed my husband.

Children have a way of getting right to the point.

I thought it was a trick question. Scotland is Heaven.

...And that joke is so scattered over the internet that attributing it to an original author is all but impossible!

Kids are hilarious. And say some of the funniest thing! We have several outside cats (strays like the food dish on the porch and end up staying on). My daughter picked a kitty for her very own after the dog bite thing because I'm afraid to let her have another dog.

Well, the kitty was an outside kitty. It didn't like the house so she let it stay outside. It got in the road with my son one day (he was riding his bike and there's no sidewalk where we are... besides the road is usually empty anyhow). A car came along and hit the kitty.

My sweet little 9 year old boy jumped off his bike, slammed it down and actually chased after the car, screaming "You motherfucker! You hit my sister's fucking cat you asshole! Come on back, buddy and I'll kick your face in."... sobbing the entire time(he saw it get hit).

Even though it was sad the kitty got ran over, I couldn't help but laugh. Dakota's face was almost purple... he was pissed!

The man did come back and gave my daughter the money to buy her a new kitty, so he did at least try to make up for it. He stood there and let my son cuss him out too, nodding his head and apologizing. I kept trying to put my hand over Dakota's mouth to hush him up, but the guy said to let him talk, that it might help 'the boy' deal with it.
