This Is Why Arguing With Children Can Be Risky!


In a grade school lesson, a teacher was explaining a little bit about whales. 

A little girl in class piped up and said: “I just learned that Jonah in the bible was swallowed by a whale.” 

The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was relatively small. 

The girl said: "I am sure Jonah was swallowed by a whale." 

The teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; that it was physically impossible. 

The little girl replied: "My Sunday school teacher told me Jonah was swallowed and she would not lie to me.” 

A bit perturbed by this, the teacher proclaimed: "That is a “story” from the bible, it is not factual, and I will not argue with you." 

After a little thought, the girl responded: "Well, when I get to heaven, I will ask Jonah". 

Now challenged, the teacher spouted: "What if Jonah didn’t go to heaven?" 

Not at all daunted, the girl quipped, " . . . . . ok then you ask him."
