My grandson was visiting one day when he asked, "Grandma, do you know how you and God are alike?" I mentally polished my halo while I asked, "No, how are we alike?" "You're both old," he replied.
I didn't know if my granddaughter had learned her colors yet, so I decided to test her. I would point out something and ask what color it was. She would tell me, and always she was correct. But it was fun for me, so I continued. At last she headed for the door, saying sagely, "Grandma, I think you should try to figure out some of these yourself!"

Caller : "Oh, well then could I speak to your father?"
Boy (whispering) : "He's busy too."
Caller : "Well, is there any adult there I could speak to?"
Boy (whispering) : "The police are here."
Caller : "Goodness, could I speak to one of the officers?"
Boy (whispering) : "They're busy."
Caller : "There must be somebody there I could speak to?"
Boy (whispering) : "The firemen are here."
Caller : "Son, please let me speak to one of the firemen."
Boy (whispering) : "They're all busy."
Caller : "Look, I think I really should speak to somebody,
what is everybody doing that's making them so busy."
Boy (whispering) : "They're looking for me."
***Dust to Dust***
After church, Johnny tells his parents he has to go and talk to the minister right away. They agree and the pastor greets the family.
"Pastor," Johnny says, "I heard you say today that our bodies came from the dust."
"That's right, Johnny, I did."
"And I heard you say that when we die, our bodies go back to dust."
"Yes, I'm glad you were listening. Why do you ask?"
"Well you better come over to our house right away and look under my bed 'cause there's someone either comin' or goin'!"
