A little child on a summer morning stood in a great Cathedral Church. The sunlight streamed through the beautiful stained glass windows and the figures in them of the servants of God were bright with brilliant color. A little later the question was asked, 'What is a saint?' and the child replied, 'A saint is a person who lets the light shine through'." ~Anonymous

When I was little and studing to make my communion. My mom asked me, "How do you become a Saint?". I answered with, "You need to be a Saints football player". She thought that was so funny and still tells people about that.

My husband did something similar when he was a boy and they moved to Maimi and he asked, "Who is my ami anyway?"

It's fun the way children and even teenagers sometimes can take things "wrong". My niece had a heck of a time when we were visiting the FBI museum down in Washington, D.C. and she didn't understand "plain clothes" officers, was thinking "plane" and picturing an airplane but neither my brother nor I nor my niece could get enough info from her to understand where/how she was stuck.

My favorite though is when my husband was about 4 and told his mother he knew their family was rich/wealthy. She asked how? Technicolor had just come out and it was more expensive to produce a movie than the old movies had been and he'd heard that somewhere and he'd put two and two together and figured out and answered/told his mother, "Because we have technicolor mirrors." (because he could see himself/"color" in a full-length mirror at home so well and "technicolor" cost more so they must have been better off to have "that kind" of mirror) Gee, can you believe he grew up to be an engineer?
