Mormon Times recently featured an article about the humorous things children have said about church-related subjects. Here are some more we received, including some sent by readers as comments to the original story.A few years ago we had a nursery leader named Sister Varela. One little girl in the nursery called her "Cinderella." I guess that is how she heard it.Kim Forrester
Some years ago, my little sister came home from Primary singing a new song she was learning: "Sweet is the work, my gosh, my feet!" (Actually appropriate at times, I thought.)Another story: My young daughter one time asked me if there weren't any "boy ancestors." When I told her that there were just as many of one as of the other, she asked, "Then why don't they call them 'uncle-brothers.'" I realized then that she had misunderstood and was saying "aunt-sisters.'"Sharon Proctor
When my son, David, was a toddler (now he is 50 and a bishop) he just stood on the church benches. The song we were singing was "Welcome, Welcome Sabbath Morning." We happen to have a custodian whose last name was spelled Kjar and pronounced "care." My son would sing at the top of his lungs, "Welcome, welcome Sabbath morning, now we rest from Brother 'Care.'" He always loved music and he was just belting it out.Caroline Joyner Freebairn
One day when I was volunteering at Morgan Elementary School in Kaysville, I saw a whole bunch of preschoolers coming out of the computer room, so I asked, "Where did all you little kids come from?" One little boy said, "Heavenly Father."Colleen Fechser
I took my little 5-year-old daughter to the store because she had just received some birthday money from her grandmother and of course immediately wanted to spend it.After I had collected a few groceries, we got in line at the checkout stand and I noticed that she had nothing in her hands. "Weren't you going to buy something?" I asked."I just can't find anything good," she responded dejectedly."How about one of these candy bars?" I offered, trying to be of some help.She agreed it was a good idea and made her choice. But then a very thoughtful look came over her face. Suddenly her eyes lit up, she returned the candy bar to its place on the rack, and ran off towards the back of the store shouting, "I'll be right back!"Soon she returned, her face beaming, proudly displaying a book she found. "Why did you decide on the book instead of the candy bar?" I asked.Then she explained, "Well, I like candy bars, but it would have made me happy for only a short time. I wanted something that would make me happy for a long time."I gave her a hug as I realized she was well on her way to understanding the eternal nature of true happiness.Joel Hardy
When my daughter, Kortney, (now 30) was 5 or 6 years old, she asked me, "If the temple is the house of the Lord, is the church house his cabin?"Elaine Told
A young man was speaking in sacrament meeting prior to leaving on his mission. He expressed how nervous he was and that he didn't even speak Spanish.My 5-year-old granddaughter, Zoe, looked up in surprise and said, "He doesn't? I guess he doesn't watch 'Dora the Explorer.'"Patty Wells
When my daughter was a Sunbeam, she loved the song "Follow the Prophet" and sang with gusto during singing time. One day at home, I heard her enthusiastically sing this song, but the refrain was "Fall off the prophet"!Linda
When my son was in primary, they were drawing pictures of their understanding of the Christmas hymn "Silent Night." He drew a very heavy-set boy in the center of the page. When I questioned him about the drawing, he replied, "Mom, don't you know? That's "Round John Virgin."AL
I still sing the version of "We Are All Enlisted" my siblings and I sang when we were young tykes and didn't know better and had a flair for adventure:"We are all enlisted, we are conquistadors."DleeD
I can recall as a child thinking that there was a herald angel named Hark. He sang every Christmas.Cliff Goodman
