Cute sayings From our kids Zelda Heisey has given us four stories about children’s cute sayings this week. The first is about a little boy who was asked by his Sunday School teacher to draw a picture of the Flight into Egypt. The little boy drew a picture of an airplane carrying as passengers: Joseph, Mary and the Baby Jesus—plus another person toward the front of the plane. “Who's that?’’ asked the teacher pointing to the man in the front of the plane. ‘‘Oh, that is Pontius the Pilot,” said the boy brightly. HEH Zelda's next story hap- pened some years ago in Mount Joy. A mother was trying to get some work done inside her house but her children were continual- ly coming in and tattling on each other’s misbehavior. Finally, in exasperation she said, ‘‘The next child that comes in here tattling on another is going to be sent up to his room for the rest of the day.” There was no more tattling for about twenty minutes. Then her son Jim burst in and said, ‘‘Deb stuck her tongue out at me—’" He stopped, sud- denly remembering his mother’s threat, and quickly added, ‘‘Never mind; 1 wanted to see what her tongue looked like any- how,’’ and was gone. ### Zelda's third story is about her father Fred Gehman when he was a little boy in Caernarvon Town- ship. Little Fred and his brothers had witnessed a baptism in a creek a few days before and decided to have their own ceremony. They filled a tub full of water and proceeded to baptize a litter of kittens one by one, with total immers- ion, of course. But when it came time to baptize the mother cat they had their hands full. The mother cat ‘clawed them something awful.” Fred asked his brother Charlie, who was doing the baptizing, ‘‘What are you going to do?”’ “Aw,” said Charlie, ““let’s sprinkle her and let her go to H---."’ Hit The last story is about Zelda's grandmother Bert, who was the owner of a blue hen, of which she was very proud. One day Bert came home from church and went out to feed her blue hen, but found it gone. No one was able to find Bert's blue hen. A couple days later a neighbor boy showed up at the Gehmans and said, “Mrs. Gehman, we do net have your blue hen under a barrel in our cellar.”’ ‘Needless to say,’’ says Zelda, “‘Bert recovered her blue hen.” *
