    A couple of years ago during the KM meeting the day of the Memorial was announced, location and time. The announcement was followed by a KM article review re: the memorial (question & answer).

    My daughter was 5 at that time and had been dozing off & on. She jumped up startled, opened her eyes and spoke reallllly LOUD, "MOM, Who Died?"

    All the brothers turned & looked at me. I was so embarrased. I then told my daughter Christ Jesus & she responded, "Wasn't that a LOOOONG time ago?"

    I just shook my head & said yeah I'll explain it at home.

    (Last year-no longer attending JW meetings)

    My daughter had been reading her bible stories book (age 8) & looking up the scriptures. She was so impressed how the "woman" was made.

    During a coffee break during field service, she went up to a local elder she called "grandpa". She said, "Grandpa I know how "Eve" was made!" The bro said, "Tell me". She said, "God put Adam to sleep then he removed "Adam's Hipbone to make Eve". I then looked at her & said, "are you sure it was the hipbone hunny?"

    SHe then replied, "YES, MOM--- I read it in my very own bible yesterday!"

    The elderly elder looked at me puzzled. I then said, Well I guess we'll have to read how Eve was created over in the bible.

    A young son of an uber-Elder was doing a demo about his school Witnessing and in a very serious and intense voice said, 'I explianed to him about the paradise ... and he took it well'.

    Maybe you had to be there, but the whole congo just cracked up!

    Not really funny but this morning my son asked me why we talk to God but he never talks to us.

    Not too long ago he asked me this question that I also had a hard time answering,

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Heaven,

    When I was a little kid I asked questions like that too. Eventually I realized that the deities and the supernatural are just old stories that people told to their kids to entertain and teach lessons... only a long time ago someone forgot to tell their kids that it was just make believe. Now here we are with a world of stories [ahem] religions.

    OK, back on topic...

    When I was a kid I was asleep at a book study and nodded awake just in time to hear the conductor ask the kids: "What did Lot's wife turn into? I'll give you a hint, you put it on French fries." Well I saw this as an opportunity to answer, raised my hand, and when called on I said: "Ketchup!"

    (True story!)
