One of the greatest blessings we can have as we get older, are grandchildren, and thinking of them, and praising God for them, made me want to compile something about the innocent ways they put together our most profound thoughts:

The following gems of wisdom were gleaned from test papers and essays from elementary, junior high, high school, and college students:

"Water is composed of two gins, Oxygin and Hydrogin. Oxygin is pure gin. Hydrogin

       is gin and water."

  "Blood flows down one leg and up the other."

  "Dew is formed on leaves when the sun shines down on them and makes them  

       perspire."

  "Mushrooms always grow in damp places and so they look like umbrellas."

   "To prevent milk from turning sour, keep it in the cow."

 "The inhabitants of Moscow are called Mosquitoes."

  "A census taker is a man who goes from house to house increasing the population."

  "Most of the houses in France are made of plaster of Paris."

  "The spinal column is a long bunch of bones. The head sits on the top and you sit on            

  the bottom."

"The word trousers is an uncommon noun because it is singular at the top and plural

  at the bottom."

"Syntax is all the money collected at the church from sinners."

 “Beethoven wrote music even though he was deaf. He was so deaf he wrote loud

music. He took long walks in the forest even when everyone was calling for him. 

Beethoven expired in 1827 and later died for this.”

“The sun never set on the British Empire because the British Empire's in the East and

the sun sets in the West.”

“Gravity was invented by Issac Walton. It is chiefly noticeable in the autumn when the

apples are falling off the trees.”

“The Magna Carta provided that no man should be hanged twice for the same offence.

After his death, his career suffered a dramatic decline.”

“Actually, Homer was not written by Homer but by another man of that name.”

“Bach was the most famous composer in the world and so was Handel. Handel was half

German half Italian and half English. He was very large.”

“The Greeks were a highly sculptured people, and without them we wouldn't have history. The Greeks also had myths. A myth is a female moth.”

Laugh with me, and laugh with them, but remember that these precious little children are ours to shape, mould, protect and look after, and as I keep hearing about crimes against children, be warned the punishment Christ said awaits such wrong doers, that ‘whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.”

Enjoy children, but be aware of the warning...!
