Those darn kids, again

The following was from an email I received today. No doubt, many of these are probably well known already, but I thought I would share them.

Below is the email as I received it. For those who can remember as far back as their grade school days, perhaps, some of these might be vaguely familiar, especially considering some of the terminology used in regarding certain aspects of the faith. Those with small children will immediately recognize the misspellings based on the level of understanding that a child has or on a phonetic rendering of terms that a child is trying to work out.
