     Art Linkletter always said, "Kids say the darndest things."

 

Recently my nephew was looking at a family photo album with his granddaughter, Sydney, who will be three in just as many months.  My favorite age group is anywhere between two and four because we can never predict what they might say at any given time.  At any rate, my nephew pointed to one of the pictures in the album and explained to Sydney that it was a picture of her Uncle Jeremy when he was a baby.  Again, when Ronnie pointed to the second picture, he informed Sydney that it was a picture of her daddy, Jason, when he was a baby.  Finally, he told his granddaughter that the third photo he pointed to was a picture of him when he was a baby.  Sydney, however, managed to find another photograph on the page and commented, "And there's a picture of Santa Claus when he was a baby."  What Sydney assumed to be a baby picture of Santa was a photo of my own grandson, Andrew, dressed in the Santa outfit my wife and I had purchased for his first Christmas photo when he was five months old.  Yes, Art Linkletter, kids do say the darndest things.

The Wholly Book of Genesis by Jay Dubya

The Wholly Book of Genesis is a humorous satire on the first book of the Old Testament where the Story of Creation, the building of Noah's Ark, Sodom and Gomorrah and the families of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are thoroughly spoofed and broadsided.
