I was testing children in my Dublin Sunday school class to see if they understood the concept of getting to heaven. I asked them, "If I sold my house and my car, had a big
garage sale and gave all my money to the church, would
that get me into heaven ?"
"NO !" the children answered.
"If I cleaned the church every day, mowed the grass,and kept everything tidy, would that get me into heaven?"
Again, the answer was "NO !"
By now I was starting to smile. "Well, then, if I was kind to animals and gave sweets to all the children, and loved my husband, would that get into heaven ?"
Again, they all answered "NO !"
I was just bursting with pride for them. I continued, Then how can I get into heaven ?"
A six year-old boy shouted out: "YUV GOTTA BE FOOKN' DEAD..."
It's a curious race, the Irish. Have a great day.
