SUNDAY CLOTHES
A little boy was walking down a dirt road after church one
Sunday afternoon when he came to a crossroads where he met a little girl
coming from the other direction.
"Hello," said the little boy
"Hi," replied the little girl.
"Where are you going?" asked the little boy.
"I've been to church this morning and I'm on my way home,
answered the little girl.
"Me too", replied the little boy.
"I'm also on my way home from church."
"Which church do you go to?" asked the little boy.
"I go to the Apostolic church back down the road," replied the
little girl. "What about you?"
"I go to the Methodist church back at the top of the hill,"
replied the little boy.
They discover that they are both going the same way so they
decided that they'd walk together.
They came to a low spot in the road where spring rains had
partially flooded the road so there was no way that they could get
across to the other side without getting wet.
"If I get my new Sunday dress wet my Mom's going to skin me
alive," said the little girl.
"My Mom'll tan my hide too if I get my new Sunday suit wet,"
replied the little boy.
"I tell you what I think I'll do," said the little girl. "I'm gonna pull off
all my clothes and hold them over my head and wade across."
"That's a good idea," replied the little boy. "I'm going to
do the same thing with my suit."
So they both undressed and waded across to the other side
without getting their clothes wet. They were standing there in the sun
waiting to drip dry before putting their clothes back on when the little boy
finally remarked ...
"You know, I never did realize before just how much
difference there really is between an Apostolic and a Methodist.
