How to get to Heaven from Ireland
I was testing children in my Dublin Sunday school class to see if they understood the concept of getting into heaven.
I asked them, “If I sold my house and my car, had a big garage sale and gave all my money to the church, would that get me into heaven?”
“NO!” the children answered.
“If I cleaned the church every day, mowed the garden, and kept everything tidy, would that get me into heaven?”
Again, the answer was “NO!”. By now I was starting to smile.
“Well, then, if I was kind to animals and gave sweets to all the children, and loved my husband, would that get me into heaven?”
Again, they all answered “NO!”.
I was just bursting with pride for them.
I continued, "Then how can I get into heaven?"
A six year-old boy shouted out: "YUV GOTTA BE FREAKIN DEAD!"
It’s a curious race, the Irish.
