The wisdom of children never ceases to amaze me; they can come out with such clever things sometimes — and often very obvious once you hear it. This joke shows something of that. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
How to get to Heaven
“If I sold my house and my car, had a big garage sale and gave all my money to the church, would that get me into Heaven?” I asked the children in my Sunday School class. “NO!” the children all answered.
“If I cleaned the church every day, mowed the grass, and kept everything neat and tidy, would that get me into Heaven?” Again, the answer was, “NO!
“Well, then, if I was kind to animals and gave sweets to all the children, and loved my wife, would that get me into Heaven?” I asked them again. Again, they all answered, “NO!”
“Well, I continued, “then how can I get into Heaven?”
A five-year-old boy shouted out, “YOU GOTTA BE DEAD!”
