[2] When Victoria & Erica were 5 and 6 years old, they became upset to the point of tears when they found out a friend of my wife had died. In an attempt to comfort the girls, I read the portion of the Bible where Jesus said that He has prepared a home for us in heaven, filled with many rooms.
Upon hearing this, misty-eyed Erica asked, "Daddy, when we die, can we have a room next to yours? Oh, and may we keep the kitties in our room?"
[3] "If Eve had not eaten that apple, we would not have to go to school today." ---Victoria Lewis-Davis, Age 9
[4] Recently, my two daughters and I were talking about Eve eating the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden. Victoria, my 9-year-old, said that if she had lived in that Garden, she would have "nailed up an 8-foot-high wood fence to keep people from eating that fruit".
[5] A couple of nights ago, I asked all four of my kids why some people in the world do bad things like blow up the buildings in New York. Victoria quickly responded, "Dad, if everybody in the world did only good things, then heaven would get too full and burst!"
[6] I asked my 5-year-old son, Christopher, "Why God made only 'one' moon for the earth, and 'many' stars." He replied, "Because moons are 'hard' for God to make, and stars are 'easy' for Him to do."
[7] Christopher, age 7, decided the other day that he no longer desired to be a firefighter when he grew up. When I inquired about "What will you do to earn money to buy food?", he said that he will get money from 3 places: "a cash register"; "from the tooth fairy"; and "from mom and dad". [Some things never change!]
[8]My son, Timothy (age 5), recently learned that Roman soldiers put Jesus on the Cross. In response, Timothy said, "At Christmas, Santa Claus will be putting a 'lump of coal' in those soldier's stockings!"
[9] My wife rented a "P.T. Cruiser" while her van was being repaired. When Timothy arrived at preschool, yesterday, he proudly announced to his teachers, classmates, and principal, that "My mom got a new car; it's called a 'Panty Cruiser'!"
(2.) At Easter time, our pre-school Sunday School teacher asked her students to draw a picture related to "what happened to Jesus during the week before Easter Sunday". A boy drew an airplane with a "stick figure" person in the cockpit. When his teacher asked, "What does this person have to do with Easter?", this child replied, "Don't you see, this is Pontius' 'Pilot'!"
