Some Funny (and Embarassing) Things my kids have Said and Done

Nathanael asked his mom, "Does God ask for ten percent of our outcome?" while holding up some change left over after a candy bar purchase. She said, "You mean income!" I said, "God wants a hundred percent of our outcome, including the ten percent."

The holidays are coming up. My favorite time of the year. Hannah and Joshua were arguing last Christmas over the ingredients of eggnog. After much debate Joshua said, "Well it may have eggs in it, but it ain't got no nog in it!"

We were in church and one of the boys stretched to the extent of coming out of his shirt!

Dr. Sproul asked a question during the sermon and one of the boys gave an audible answer. I don't know who was in more shock, Dr. Sproul or us.

Hannah woke me up excited on the day of her baptism and said, "Dad wake up I am going to be hypnotized today!" Sproul got a kick out of this one.

We were filling out a loan application and one of the boys asked the guy who was African American, "Are you from Africa?" What can you do with that? They were small children learning about differences and similarities. Cut them some slack on this one and the next one.

Hannah went up to an obese lady in the park and said "what's wrong with your legs?" Again what can you do?

Kids can make you laugh and keep you humble.

Then there is the classic "What was things like in the old days when you were young?"
