I love helping in the Preschool class at church. You just never know what will come out of the mouths of 4 year olds.
Today, we told the story of the good Samaritan. The Team Leader went up and started talking to the group of preschoolers about how if our brother or sister wants something and we want it too, we should give it to them. The Team Leader said “So if there is one cookie left and your brother wants it, what should you do?” A little boy raised his hand and said “Split it in half!!” What was funnier is the Team Leader went on and said “if the cookie is already been split in half, then what should you do?” Another little boy said “Split it in half again!”
I think the concept of giving something of yourself and you not getting anything was just too much to handle. Who can blame them though. Most adults don’t want to give away their cookies either.
