The things kids say ...
I'm still reading through some of the memories my grandmother recorded in the back of Mom's Bible. Here's a good one.
She writes, "Another time you were playing paper dolls with Judy & Jean [Mom's cousins] — having church, receiving tithes and offerings. You girls were shouting, jumping and praising the Lord and clapping your hands. Aunt Kate came visiting about every day (she was my daddy's sister). She had no children, but loved them. She got tired of hearing about church. She said, 'All I hear is church, church.' You spoke up and said, 'Aunt Kate, you're not a thing but a big fat sinner!' You apologized later. I felt like whipping you but couldn't. You were telling the truth!"

Enjoying the posts! This reminds me of when I was little. I was preaching at home at a small pulpit my dad built for me (the one he later knelt behind in my little bedroom on a hot July when my sister was filled with the Holy Spirit). My Grandparents were over, and my Grandpa was not serving the Lord. I was "preaching" as only a four year old could do, when I turned to my Grandpa, pointed my finger in his face and said, "Grandpa, get the Holy Ghost!" Oh, the memories of playing church at home!
(Happy ending, my Grandpa was finally filled with God's Spirit and baptized in 2000 at 78 years of age, just in time as Alzheimer's began to take full effect.)
