Two little boys, ages 8 and 10, are excessively mischievous. They are always
getting into trouble and their parents know if any mischief occurs in their town,
the two boys are probably involved.

The boys' mother heard that a preacher in town had been successful in disciplining
children, so she asked if he would speak with her boys. The preacher agreed, but
he asked to see them individually.

The mother sent the 8 year old in the morning, with the older boy to see the preacher
in the afternoon.

The preacher, a huge man with a deep booming voice, sat the younger boy down and
asked him sternly, "Do you know where God is, son?"

The boy's mouth dropped open, but he made no response, sitting there wide-eyed with
his mouth hanging open.

So the preacher repeated the question in an even sterner tone, "Where is God?"

Again, the boy made no attempt to answer.

The preacher raised his voice even more and shook his finger in the boy's face and
bellowed, "WHERE is GOD?"

The boy screamed and bolted from the room, ran directly home and dove into his closet,
slamming the door behind him.

When his older brother found him in the closet, he asked, "What happened?"

The younger brother replied, "We are in BIG trouble this time!" Gasping for breath, he
continued: "GOD is missing, and they think WE did it!"
