Too Young

When my wife went in the hospital for surgery several years ago, a rule prohibited children under 12 from visiting patients. Our 11- year- old seemed to understand, but our six- year- old took the restriction very hard. We discovered why she was so unusually upset when we heard her talking to her mother on the phone for the first time. As she said goodbye, she tearfully exclaimed, "I'll see you when I'm 12, mom!"

Tooth Fairy

After losing another tooth, young Timmy became more curious about the mysterious tooth fairy. Finally putting two and two together, he came right out and asked, "Mom, are you the tooth fairy?" Deciding he was old enough to hear the truth, she replied, "Yes Timmy, I am." Timmy seemed to take this news quite well. As he headed for the door though, he slowly turned back toward his mother with a curious look on his face and said, "Wait a minute mom... how do you get into the other kids' houses?"

A youngster devoted an entire rainy indoors afternoon to a drawing he was doing with varicolored crayons. His mother finally looked over his shoulder, and, puzzled, asked "Who's that you're drawing, son?"  The son answered, "God."  "Don't be silly," reproved the mother. "Nobody knows what God looks like."  Not even pausing in his task, the son announced calmly ,"They will when I'm finished!"
