A couple had two little boys, ages 4 and 10, who were excessively mischievous. The two were always getting into trouble and their parents could be assured that if any mischief occurred in their town, their two young sons were involved. The parents were at their wits not knowing what to do.
Then the mother heard that a clergyman in town had been successful in disciplining children in the past. So she asked her husband if he thought they should send the boys to speak with him.
The husband said, "We might as well. We need to do something before I really lose my temper!"
The clergyman agreed to speak with the boys. He asked to see them individually. The 8-year-old went to meet him first. The clergyman sat the boy down and asked him sternly, "Where is God?"
The boy was unresponsive. So the clergyman repeated the question in an even sterner tone, "Where is God?" Again the boy made no attempt to answer. So the clergyman raised his voice even more and shook his finger in the boy's face, "WHERE IS GOD?
With that, the boy bolted from the room and ran directly home, slamming his door and hiding in his closet. His older brother followed him saying, "What happened?"
The younger brother replied, "We're in B I G trouble this time. God is missing and they think we did it.
