Children say the funniest things

After reading my blog two weeks ago, “Through the eyes of a child,” a reader sent me this comment…

I loved the one today about childrens' interpretation of the Bible. My all-time favorite from Sunday school was the little boy who told his mother that the teacher said he was a scurvy elephant. When the teacher was asked why she said that to the lad, she said, "No, I said he was a disturbing element!"

At times, when I have one of those types in my class, I think of this story and just laugh. It breaks the mesmerism for me.
