Out of the mouths of babes

I have a feeling that life in general - and blogs in particular - can sometimes seem a bit heavy and there is need to lighten things up a bit. A call for humour. Starting today I shall give up my daily blog to contributions that hopefully bring a smile to the faces of readers.

The Bible

A little boy opened the big family bible. He was fascinated as he fingered through the old pages. Suddenly, something fell out of the Bible. He picked up the object and looked at it. What he saw was an old leaf that had been pressed in between the pages "Mum, look what I've found," the boy called out. "What have you got there, dear?" With astonishment in the young boy's voice, he answered, "I think it's Adam's underwear".

Death

While walking along the path in front of his church, our vicar heard the intoning of a prayer that nearly made his collar wilt. Apparently, his 5 year old son and his friends had found a dead robin. Feeling that proper burial should be performed, they had found a small box and placed the bird inside and tied it up with string, then dug a hole and made ready for the burial of the deceased. The vicar's son was chosen to say the appropriate prayers and with great dignity intoned his version of what he thought his father always said: "Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and into the hole he goes."
