On Wednesday nights, Dan and I teach a class of 3-6 year old kids at our church in a sort of Sunday School class environment while their parents are in a Bible study. We've been doing this for about three years, and I regret that I have not been writing down some of the hilarious things these kids said over that time. But, better late than never.

Tonight, I stopped in the lesson I was teaching about brothers and sisters to ask a question. The Bible story was about when God told Moses to go talk to Pharoah about letting the Israelites leave Egypt. When Moses told God that he didn't want to go, God told him that since Moses' brother Aaron was a good speaker, Aaron would go with Moses to talk to Pharoah. After all this setup, the kid-friendly lesson I was delivering was about how our brothers and sisters can help us and we can help them. Towards the end, I asked the kids what kind of things they thought they could do to help their brothers and sisters this week.

The child next to me was a newcomer to our class, an adorable little blonde-haired blue eyed boy. He raised his hand, so I called on him to answer the question, expecting to hear something like "You could help them make up their bed," or "You could share your toys."

Instead, the little boy paused a moment, looked at me hard and said "You're pretty big."

No further comment was offered, so I just agreed that yes, I am pretty big, and asked the question again. But then I tried not to laugh, because seriously, where does that kind of comment come from? I doubt the kid was calling me fat, but I would love to see some kind of flow chart documenting what question he thought he was answering with that pronouncement.

Thus ends tonight's installment of "Things Our Church Kids Said." If you want, I'll tell you another one next week.
