A true Story from an Irish Sunday School Teacher

I was testing children in my Dublin Sunday school
class to see if they understood the concept of getting to 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!'
'If I 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 little boy shouted out: 'YUV GOTTA BE FOOKN' DEAD.'
It's a curious race, the Irish.
Kind of brings a tear to the eye, doesn't it?
