her two boys by herself. Ya see their Pa died whilst they wuz young. Now these
here boys had done got right onery and their ma jus couldn't figure out exactly
to do ... don't ya see.
So she took 'em to the preacher. She left em outside the preacher's office
whilst she told the preacher about the boys. She said," Preacher I jus don't
know what to do with them boys."
The Preacher re-plied, "Don't worry I'll speak to 'em." So the preacher called
the youngest boy, he wuz 8 years old and the oldest wuz 10 years old, and the
preacher sat the boy down across from his desk.
The preacher said, " Son, do you know where GOD is?" The boy just sat there.
Preacher got a little firmer, "
SON, DO YOU KNOW where GOD is?" No reply.
So the preacher got real firm and tapped the boy on the forehead with his finger
and said, "SON?! Do you know where GOD is?"
The boy stood up screaming "Aaaagghhh!" and he ran out in the hall, grabbed his
older brother s hand and said, "We gotta git otta here!"
The older brother asked, "Why?" The younger brother replied," They lost GOD and
they think we got him!"
