Ah, yes, the things kids recite in church. . .
For instance, The Apostles’ Creed (or Nicene Creed — can’t remember which one) — anyway — in the part that says “suffered under Pontius Pilate” a little boy was overheard very sincerely reciting “suffered under a buncha spiders.”
So sorry, but to this day, I cannot help a secret smile in church when I think about that little guy. You know, “suffering under a buncha spiders” was what he heard — and it would have made perfect sense to him.
