Innocents
After Church

As
The Story Goes, a few years back...
A
little boy was walking down a dirt road after church one
Sunday afternoon when he
came to a crossroads where he met a little girl coming
from the other direction.
"Hello," said the little boy.
"Hi," replied the little girl.
"Where are you going?" asked the little boy.
"I've been to church this morning and I'm on my way
home," answered the little girl.
"Me too," replied the little boy. "I'm
also on my way home from church."
"Which church do you go to?" asked the little
boy.
"I go to the Baptist church back down the
road," replied the little girl.
"What about you?"
"I go to the Catholic church back at the top of the
hill," replied the
little boy.
They discover that they are both going the same way so
they decided
that they'd walk together.
They came to a low spot in the road where spring rains
had partially flooded the road
so there was no way that they could get across to the
other side without getting wet.
"If I get my new Sunday dress wet my Mom's going to
skin me alive," said the little girl.
"My Mom'll tan my hide too if I get my new Sunday
suit wet," replied the
little boy.
"I tell you what I think I'll do," said the
little girl. "I'm gonna pull off
all my clothes and hold them over my head and wade
across."
"That's a good idea," replied the little boy.
"I'm going to do the same
thing with my suit."
So they both undressed and waded across to the other side
without
getting their clothes wet.
They were standing there in the sun waiting to drip dry
before putting
their clothes back on when the little boy finally
remarked,
"You know, I never did realize before just how much
difference there
really is between a Baptist and a Catholic."
Those were the days of real Innocents!
See you in church Sunday!
