Children's Prayers

During the minister's prayer one Sunday, there was a loud whistle from one of the back pews.

Gary answered soberly: "I asked God to teach me to whistle...And He just then did!"

Johnny had been misbehaving and was sent to his room. After a while he emerged and informed his mother that he had thought it over and then said a prayer.

"Fine," said the pleased mother. "If you ask God to help you not misbehave, He will help you."

"Oh, I didn't ask Him to help me not misbehave," said Johnny. "I asked Him to help you put up with me."
