A couple had two little boys, ages 8 and 10, who were excessively
mischievous. They were always getting into trouble and their parents knew
that, if any mischief occurred in their town, their sons were probably
involved.
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, but asked to see them individually. So the mother sent her
8-year-old first, in the morning, with the older boy to see the
clergyman in the afternoon.
The clergyman, a huge man with a booming voice, sat the younger boy down and
asked him sternly, "Where is God?".
The boy's mouth dropped open, but he made no response, sitting there with
his mouth hanging open, wide-eyed. 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 and bellowed, "WHERE IS
GOD!?"
The boy screamed and bolted from the room, 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?"
The younger brother, gasping for breath, replied, "We are in BIG trouble
this time. God is missing - and they think WE did it!"
