Kinders van Israel
“Mnr Jackson,” sê klein Jannie,
“…daar is iets wat ek nie verstaan nie.”
“En wat is dit, Jannie?” vra mnr. Jackson.
“Volgens die Bybel het die Kinders van Israel die Rooisee oorgesteek. Reg, nê?”
“Ja, dit is so.”
“En die Kinders van Isreal het teen die Filistyne oorlog gemaak, reg?”
“Eee…………reg.”
“En die Kinders van Israel het die tempel gebou, reg?”
“En die Kinders van Isreal het teen die Egiptenare geveg, die Kinders van Israel het teen die Romeine geveg, en die Kinders van Israel het altyd iets belangriks gedoen, reg?”
“Ja dit is so,” stem mnr. Jackson saam.
“Nou wat is jou vraag dan?”
“Wat het die grootmense dan gedoen?”
Teacher Parents
My wife and I are teachers, and our jobs often spill over into our family life. One morning as our eight-year-old Maggie was getting ready for school, I peeked into her room to be sure she had tidied it up.
“You call THAT a made bed?” I asked.
No Dad,” Maggie replied. “It’s just a rough draft.”
Youngest in School
A friend of mine has three boys, the youngest of whom, Gregory, had just started school.
A teacher commented to Gregory that she couldn’t believe he was already in first grade and asked what his mother did all day now that the three boys were in school.
“Cartwheels,” Gregory answered.
