A Class Act

A Class Act.


The class were hearing about whales. The teacher said that it was impossible for a whale to swallow a human because it's throat was only built to take small fish and krill.

A little girl begged to differ, saying that Jonah was swallowed by a whale.

Irritated, the teacher reiterated that it was physically impossible.

The little girl said, "When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah."

The teacher asked, "What if Jonah went to Hell?"

The little girl replied, "Then you ask him!"


The Kindergarten teacher was supervising her class of children drawing. She observed one little girl who was really wrapped up in her work. She asked of the child what it was that she was drawing.

"It is a picture of God" she replied.

The teacher thought for a moment and then said, "But no one knows what God looks like."

Without pausing in her work the little girl explained, "They will in a minute."



A Sunday School teacher was discussing the Ten Commandments to a group of children. After explaining the commandment "honour" thy Father and Mother, she asked,

"Is there a commandment that teaches us how to treat our brothers and sisters?"

The children thought for a minute and then a little boy stood up and proffered, "Thou shalt not kill....?"


One day a little girl sat watching her mother doing the dishes at the sink. She suddenly noticed that her mother had several white hairs on her temples that stood out from her normal dark hair.

"Why is some of your hair white mummy?" she asked inquisitively.

Her mother answered the child. "Well my darling, every time I do something wrong, bad or sinful, one of my hairs turn white.

"The little girl pondered for a moment and then said, "Momma, how come ALL of grandma's hair is white?"



The children had all had their school photograph taken as a group and the teacher was trying to persuade them to purchase copies.

"Just think how nice it will be to look at when you are older and grown up" she said, "..you'll be able to point to each one and say, there's Tommy, he's a lawyer. There's Romina, she's a banker or a travel agent and things like that."

A small voice from the back piped up with "...And there's teacher, she's dead!"


The children were lined up in the cafeteria of the local elementary school for lunch. At the head of the table was a large pile of apples.

A nun wrote out this sign and placed it on the apples:

PLEASE, only take ONE.

God is watching.


Moving further along the line, at the other end of the table was a plate full of cream cakes, chocolate sponge and marshmallows.

A child had also posted a note:


Take all you want.

God is busy watching the apples.
