The Kitchen Table

todays smile

13 years ago

I had been watching my son play in the yard when I looked out the window and saw my son playing church with our cat. He was standing in front of him, preaching. I giggled and went back to wok.
A while later, I heard loud meowing and hissing. I ran to the back yard and saw my son "baptizing" the cat in a tub of water.
"What are you doing" Stop that! He's afraid of water! I yelled.
MY son loooked up and said, Well, he tshould have thougt of that before he joined my church."
P.S. The cat is fine

Whoa! I screwed up again and started the thread in Home Dec Convos by accident. Thanks jasdip for getting it going in the right place! Spark's Law of Problem Solution: The chances of solving a problem decline the closer one gets to finding out who was the cause of the problem.

I saw this little story a few years ago on a comedy blog and still think it's cute!

Reminds me of the stories of my aunt. My grandfather was a minister, and she would line up the chickens, including the one that everyone else was afraid of, and preach to them.

Do I have a feeling the the cat didn't join ...

... till s/he was pushed?

It's not only a parent's main job ... but a preacher's as well ... to give folks under their command (ahem!) full rein to make their own decisions.

"Up to a point", as far as kids are concerned.

I guess that some of the non-Baptists, being sprinklers rather than dunkers, will presume the cat to be now a Baptist?
