Learning Numbers

"Learning Numbers"

The teacher asked little Johnny if he knew his
numbers.

"Yes," he said, "I do. My father taught me."

"Good. What comes after three?"

"Four," answers the boy.

"What comes after six?"

"Seven."

"Very good," says the teacher. "Your dad did
a fine job. What comes after ten?"

"A jack."

"Going to Heaven"

I was testing the children in my 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 garage 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 yard,
and kept everything neat and tidy, would that get
me into Heaven?" Again, the answer was, "NO!"

By now I was starting to smile. Hey, this was fun!
"Well, then, if I was kind to animals and gave candy
to all the children, and loved my husband, would that
get me into Heaven?" I asked them again.

  Again, they all answered, "NO!"

I was just bursting with pride for them. "Well," I
continued, "then how can I get into Heaven?"

A five-year-old boy shouted out, "YOU GOTTA BE
DEAD!!!"
