AN ACTUAL CONVERSATION

Jake: Mom, what did Jesus mean when he said "If your hand or foot causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away"?

Mom: Well honey, it means that if there is something in your life that is causing you to sin, you should get rid of it. For example, if your gameboy causes you to sin, then you should throw it away. Or if you have a friend that tempts you or causes you to sin, then you shouldn't hang around with that person.

Lilly: Mom, Is cussing a sin?

Mom: Well I guess so Lilly. The Bible says to not let unwholesome talk come out of your mouths.

Lilly: Well I think Daddy's X-Box is causing him to sin because I heard him cuss yesterday while he was playing. I think he should throw it away.

Jake (the devoted son): Be quiet Lilly. No he didn't. He doesn't need to throw it away.

Lilly: Yes he did.

Jake: No he didn't.

Lilly: Yes he did.

Jake: No he didn't!! (now crying) MOMMY, he doesn't have to throw his X-Box away!!! (Waaaaaa)



He's his father's son.
