A Wise Little Girl

"My Footsteps?"

An acquaintance of mine who is a physician told
this story about her then-four-year-old daughter. On
the way to preschool, the doctor had left her stethoscope
on the car seat, and her little girl picked it up and began
playing with it.

"Be still, my heart," thought my friend, "my daughter
wants to follow in my footsteps!" Then the child spoke
into the instrument: "Welcome to McDonald's. May I
take you order?"

"A Wise Little Girl"

A certain little girl, when asked her name, would reply,
"I'm Mr. Sugarbrown's daughter."

Her mother told her this was wrong, she must say, "I'm
Jane Sugarbrown."

The Vicar spoke to her in Sunday School and said,
"Aren't you Mr. Sugarbrown's daughter?"

She replied, "I thought was, but mother says I'm not."

"Too Rough"

A little girl asked her mother, "Can I go outside and play
with the boys?"

Her mother replied, "No, you can't play with the boys, they're
too rough."

The little girl thought about it for a few moments and asked,
"If I can find a smooth one, can I play with him?"
