Hmmm, childproof testing!!

I was testing the children

In my Sunday school class

To see if they understood the concept

Of getting to heaven.

I asked them, 'If I sold my house and my car,

Had a big garage sale

And gave all my money

To the church,

Would that get me into Heaven?'

'NO!' the children answered.

'If I cleaned the church every day, and

Mowed the yard,

And kept everything neat and tidy,

Would that get me into Heaven?'

Again, the answer was, 'NO!'

By now I was starting to smile.

Hey, this was fun! '

Well, then, if I was kind to animals

And gave candy

To all the children,

And loved my husband,

Would that get me into Heaven?', I asked them again.

Again, they all answered, 'NO!'

I was just bursting with pride for them.

'Well,' I continued,

'then how can I get into Heaven?'

A five-year-old boy shouted out,

'YOU GOTTA BE DEAD.'
