Sweet Voices

Ever notice how a 4-year-old's voice
is louder than 200 adult voices?
Several years ago, I returned home from
a trip just when a storm hit,
with crashing thunder and severe lightning.
As I came into my bedroom
about 2 a.m., I found my two children in bed with my
wife, apparently scared
by the loud storm.  I resigned myself to sleep in
the guest bedroom that night.

The next day, I talked to the children, and
explained that it was OK to
sleep with Mom when the storm was bad, but when I
was expected home,
please don't sleep with Mom that night.  They said
OK.  After my next trip
several weeks later, my wife and the children picked
me up in the terminal at the appointed time.

Since the plane was late, everyone had come into the
terminal to wait for my plane's arrival, along with hundreds of other
folks waiting for their arriving passengers.

As I entered the waiting area, my son saw me, and
came running shouting,
"Hi, Dad!  I've got some good news!"
As I waved back, I said loudly, "What's
the good news?"  "Nobody slept with Mommy while you
were away this time!" Alex shouted.

The airport became very quiet, as everyone in the
waiting area looked at Alex, then turned to me,
and then searched the rest of the area to see
if they could figure out exactly who his Mom was.

An acquaintance of mine who is a physician told this
story about her then-4-year-old daughter.
On the way to preschool, the doctor had left
her stethoscope on the car seat, and her little girl
picked it up and began playing with it.

"Be still, my heart," thought my friend, "my
daughter wants to follow in my footsteps!"

Then the child spoke into the instrument:  "Welcome
to McDonald's. May I take your order?"

A certain little girl, when asked her name, would
reply, "I'm Mr. Sugarbrown's daughter."
Her mother told her this was wrong, she must
say, "I'm Jane Sugarbrown."  The Vicar spoke to her
in Sunday School, and asked,
"Aren't you Mr. Sugarbrown's daughter?"
She replied, "I thought I
was, but my mother says I'm not."

A little girl asked her mother, "Can I go outside
and play with the boys?"

Her mother replied, "No, you can't play with the
boys, they're too rough."

The little girl thought about it for a few moments
and asked "If I find a smooth one,
can I play with him?"

A Sunday school teacher asked her little children,
as they were on the way to church service,
"And why is it necessary to be quiet in church?"
One bright little girl replied,
"Because people are sleeping."
