A couple had two mischievous little boys, ages 8 (Little Johnny) and his 10-year elder brother…
They were always getting into trouble, and their parents knew that if any mischief occurred in their town, their sons would get the blame.
The boys’ mother heard that a clergyman in town had been successful in disciplining children, So she asked if he would speak with her boys.
The clergyman agreed and asked to see them individually.
So, in the morning, the mother sent her 8-year-old (Little Johnny) and planned to send the 10-year-old in the evening.
The clergyman, a huge man with a booming voice, sat Little Johnny down and asked him sternly, “Where is God?”
Johnny’s mouth dropped open, but he made no response, sitting there with his mouth hanging open.
The clergyman repeated the question. “Where is God?”
Again, Little Johnny made no attempt to answer.
So, the clergyman raised his voice some more and shook his finger in Johnny’s face and bellowed, “Where is God!?”
Little Johnny screamed and bolted from the room.
He ran directly home and dove into his closet, slamming the door behind him.
When his older brother found him in the closet, he asked, “What happened?”
Little Johnny, gasping for breath, replied:
“We are in real BIG trouble this time! God is missing, and they think we did it!”
