Friday Funnies, Vol. 7

Well, today I've done a variety of interesting things. I've attempted to help keep four classes of third graders focused for a rehearsal of a musical performance coming up next week. I've also danced with some of said third graders, quite possibly singing along to some Justin Bieber. I've been hanging out with my kids today, and it's been a lot of fun.

So, as I was thinking about what to focus on for this edition of Friday Funnies, I thought what better than kids?

So today I bring you an assortment of quotes about love (appropriate with Monday having been Valentine's Day), all as told by kids. Enjoy, and comment on your favorites (or your favorite "from the mouth of babes" moment).

When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis, too. That's love.

Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other.

When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You know that your name is safe in their mouth.

Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of kissing, you still want to be together and you talk more. My mommy and daddy are like that. They look gross when they kiss.

Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday.

Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day.

These next quotes are funny quotes by kids that have to do with church.

A 3-year-old was heard saying the following prayer:

"Our Father, Who does art in heaven, Harold is His name. Amen."

Another great take on the Lord's Prayer from a four-year-old:

"And forgive us our trash baskets, as we forgive those who put trash in our baskets."

A mother was preparing pancakes for her sons, Kevin 5, and Ryan 3. The boys began to argue over who would get the first pancake. Their mother saw the opportunity for a moral lesson. "If Jesus were sitting here, He would say, 'Let my brother have the first pancake, I can wait.'"

Kevin turned to his younger brother and said:

"Ryan, you be Jesus!"

I just love the unpredictability of the things that kids say. They are always so candid. Hope some of these brightened your Friday! Have a great weekend and I'll see you back here on Monday for our next Monday Music Moment.

Until next time,
