Two muffins were baking in the oven.

One turns to the other and says, “It sure is hot in here!”

The other one screams, “Oh, no!  A talking muffin!”

  

Several years ago I preached a sermon from Psalm 78, which instructs parents to tell their children what they know about God.  I suggested that telling about God is like telling a joke – you think through the wording, the phrasing, the audience, and make sure you get the punch line right.  After the service, fourth grader Grace ran up to me at the door, told me this joke, and ran away.  I was impressed that she heard at least part of the sermon.
