Be careful what your kids overhear…

As the pastor shook hands with the congregation leaving the
church, a little boy looked up with a closed fist said, “Here,
I have something for you.” The pastor opened his hand and
the little boy dropped a small coin into it. Not wanting to hurt
the boy’s feeling he simply smiled and said, “Thank you.”

Well, it did not end — the next Sunday and the next — the
same thing. Finally, the pastor could not take it any more;
he had to know what was up. He called the boy aside and
talked with him, “I really appreciate the gifts but why are
you doing it?”

“Well” said the boy, “I just wanted to help you — my dad
says you are the poorest preacher we have ever had.”
