The most caring child

Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about a contest he was asked to judge. The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child. The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman’s yard, climbed onto his lap, and just say there. When his mother asked him what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said, "Nothing, I just helped him cry."

Where's Barney?

A four year old was at the pediatrician for a check up. As the doctor looked down her ears with an otoscope, he asked, "Do you think I’ll find Big Bird in here?" The little girl stayed silent. Next, the doctor took a tongue depressor and looked down her throat. He asked, "Do you think I’ll find the Cookie Monster down there?" Again, the little girl was silent.

Then the doctor put the stethoscope to her chest. As he listened to her heart beat, he asked, "Do you think I’ll hear Barney in here?"

"Oh, no!" The little girl replied. "Jesus is in my heart. Barney’s on my underpants."
