Children have a wonderful way of cutting straight through adult logic – especially when they think something just doesn’t add up. This quick bus-ride exchange between a curious little boy and a priest is a perfect example of why kids often deliver the funniest punchlines of all.
A little boy got on the bus and sat next to a man reading a book. He noticed the man had his collar on backwards.
“Why is your collar on backwards?” the boy asked.
The man, a priest, replied, “I am a Father.”
“My Daddy doesn’t wear his collar like that,” said the boy.
The priest looked up and said, “I am the Father of many.”
The boy shook his head. “My Dad has four boys, four girls, and two grandchildren—and he doesn’t wear his collar that way.”
Growing impatient, the priest said, “I am the Father of hundreds,” and returned to his book.
The boy sat quietly for a moment, then leaned over and said, “Maybe you should try putting your pants on backwards instead of your collar.”
