One of the delights of being at home

is all ol two and a hall years old.
itecently a new baby came to live
at Kim's house. She had been well-
prepared for the special event -- her
' parents explained to her that she was
going to have a baby brother or sister.
and she a was going to be a big sister.
Kim was impressed with the concept
of being a big sister, and that word
"sister" stuck in her mind.
Finally the big day arrived and lit-
tle Kevin was born. "Look." Kim said
proudly, "1 have a boy sister!"

Nicole has a playmate named Ben-

Clergymen always have to be on
guard because they never know how
kids are going to respond in church.
Recently a minister was telling nm
how he was running a children's story
over three weeks in church. To start
the lesson. he asked it everyone
remembered what he had told Them
last week, '•i wasn't here." one little
girl said loudly. That left her parents
trying to hide behind the pew.
Another minister thought he had
the complete attention of the children
in his congregation as he told a
special children's story. Just as he
was about to come to the moral of the
story and make the point to which he
had been building, one small boy in-
terrupted. "Look at those flowers," he
said. pointing to a bouquet on the
alter. So much for having the kids
spellbound.
Our Chelsey "talks" to us all the
