What is butt dust?

The Sermon I think this Mom will never forget.... This particular Sunday sermon...'Dear Lord,' the minister began, with arms extended toward heaven and a rapturous look on his upturned face. 'Without you, we are but dust...' He would have continued but at that moment her very obedient daughter who was listening leaned over to her and asked quite audibly in her shrill little four year old girl voice, 'Mom, what is butt dust?' ROFL...... I can just imagine this happening.

Okay, that's hilarious. Got a couple of more church stories for you. When my eldest daughter was 3 or 4 years old, after Communion when we returned to our seats she said in a very loud voice, "I want a chip!" I was embarrassed, whispered that it wasn't a chip but bread. Then she said, "I want bread!" The people behind me smiled and assured me it was okay. Guess they'd been there before. My sister is not a church-going gal. When my mother had her daughter for the weekend Grandma brought her to church. I'm not sure how old my niece was, maybe 5. At the end of mass she turned to my mother and said, "When is the king coming back out?" Aren't kids grand?

I saw this and laughed so hard I had tears rolling down my face. I just love little kids and their total innocence.

Me too!!! I know what you mean. Kids light my life. I guess I made the right career choice when I became a teacher.

Oh, I've got some good ones. I haven't taught in years though. I'm a SAHM now, with a 4 year old who keeps me supplied in these stories. One day he saw a dog with a dingleberry hanging from his fur and told me to "look at that dog's booty booger."

Okay. After reading the discussion, I have a doubt. How did you guess that the daughter thought it was butt and not "but"? Did she make a reference about that. Children are innocent. Let's admire their innocence.

Of course the child was too innocent to have meant that. I think that's what makes it humorous. If we thought she knew what she was saying it wouldn't be as funny.

How funny is this one..lol If I were in this situation I'd tell my kids they needed to wait until later so I could explain what the minister was saying. Our oldest would have said something like this and be very loud about it when she was a kid. I would have been hiding under the pew until the sermon was over and I was outta there.

Haha That's too funny. I love the way kids think, and the fact that they are not afraid to open their mouths and say whatever is on their minds. This sounds like something my step-daughter Cortni would come up with...even as a grown woman! LOL

I just got that joke in my e-mail the other day. I showed it to my mom and she laughed. My dad should definitely use that joke in his sermon.

He's such a sweetheart. He is working so hard to make ends meet for my he and my mom. She isn't working right now because of her health, but hopes to find a job soon. So he is doing work in addition to being a pastor (he gets no health insurance). He is fixing people's cars, wiring up electricity, and trasferring cars to get paid extra. He has a lot of friends who ask him to do that stuff, and he does it for free, but when they mention to other people, my dad goes ahead and takes the money offered. He is Mr. Tough guy, but I know he has to be under a lot of pressure. He always insists on buying gas for my truck. That saves me a lot of money. Money I'm sure he could use, but he insists on it. He says no matter what he is better off than me. I remember once he made a hundred dollars on transferring a car to someone, and he gave me half of it.

Yes, it originated from an email. I often wonder if preachers are always being given things, jokes, etc to use in their sermons.

That is so cute! I have read several of those and out of the mouths of babes comes the funniest things. My kids never said anything like that in church..but one Easter morning with the church full of people, I had attended with my mom and dad and my son who was 18 months at the time. We sat in the back row. My mother was a very proud woman...proud of her family, proud of being in church each Sunday.....well you get the picture! Anyway we sat in the back because she didn't want him to fuss and if he did she would take him out....when the grandkids went anyplace with grandma she took care of them.....anyway he was sitting with grandma and was getting antsy. So she let him stand up on her lap and fool around. The light switches for the entire upstairs of the church were directly behind her all of a sudden all the lights went out....yup...he flipped all the switches. I had never seen my mother move so fast as the entire congregation turned around to look at us! She was out of the church in record time! Dad and I didn't see either one of them until we got home.....talk about an embarassing moment! LO
