A couple had two little boys, ages 8 and 10, who were excessively
>mischievous. They were always getting into trouble and their parents knew
>that, if any mischief occurred in their town, their sons were probably
>involved.
>
> The boys' mother heard that a clergyman in town had been successful in
>disciplining children, so she asked if he would speak with her boys. The
>clergyman agreed, but asked to see them individually.
>
> So the mother sent her 8-year-old in first that morning, with the
>older boy to see the clergyman in the afternoon. The clergyman, a huge man
>with a booming voice, sat the younger boy down and asked him sternly,
>"Where is God?"
>
> The boy's mouth dropped open, but he made no response, sitting there
>with his mouth hanging open, wide eyed. So the clergyman repeated the
>question in an even sterner tone, "Where is God!!?"
>
> Again the boy made no attempt to answer. So the clergyman 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, gasping for breath, replied, "We are in BIG
>trouble this time, dude. God is missing - and they think WE did it.!"
