When I tried to explain to my 3 year old that Jesus is in the tabernacle, he concluded that Jesus was “hiding”. Which is true enough…hiding under the appearance of bread.
 
When I was little, I couldn’t say “Joseph” and instead said “Jofish”

So when a reading included the name of Mary’s Most Chaste Spouse, I shouted to the entire parish “JOFISH! HE SAID JOFISH, MOM!”
 
In the early 50’s, when I was about 4 yrs old, at the ringing of the bells during the Consecration, I ran from our pew right down the center aisle (a very long aisle) yelling “Mommy, it’s the ice cream man, it’s the ice cream man.” My mom said it was quite a while before they took me to Mass again.
 
I have a young daughter named Faith. Every time the word “Faith” is said in church she turns to me and goes something along the lines of, “They’re talking about me again! Why are they talking about me?” 😂
 
That’s adorable XD Hey! That means she’s involved in her parish! 😉
 
I used to think that “Public” and Catholic were two rival religions, since you could go to Catholic school or to public school.
I therefore assumed that the “general public” was their pope.
 
My 1 year old decided to demonstrate a new word - meow - a couple weeks ago at Mass. During a silent moment before the consecration. The people sitting around us got a good chuckle out of that one.
 
I’ll admit when we were younger, we were not that good at getting the kids to mass.

One Sunday, after a particularly long absence, when we were entering the pew, my second born boy, who was three, said, out loud, “where are we? What is this place?”
 
Just this evening at Mass, I don’t know how many times my 8 year old autistic son stage-whispered “Is it over yet?! Is it over yet?! IS IT OVER YET?!” It was very obviously nowhere close to being over 😂

Flustering for me, yet funny ❤️ I love my autistic kiddos (and my ADHD kiddo, and my neuro-typical kiddos too ❤️)

They sound hilarious! Kids are blessings, indeed. Someone once said that the job of children is to help get their parents to heaven. I can understand that point, sometimes.

When my son was 3, we were at Mass, and a man behind us must have been talking to someone next to him. My son turned around and said in a loud whisper, “shhhh! Jesus is coming!”
 
The 5-year-old girl asked her granny "What is the lady doing on the airplane? when she saw the big crucifix hanging from the ceiling.

Thank you previous posters for cheering me up.
 
As a child we were on a family holiday and visited a church in Spain. There was a huge painting that covered the entire wall behind the altar and depicted the Assumption of our Blesed Virgin. Mary was surrounded by numerous angels.

My little sister asked our mother what was going on, and my mother did her best to explain. My sister exclaimed, “how can you tell if Mary is going up or down?”

There is a similar young man at one of my parishes. Mum has three boys, two of whom are autistic. One of then will not shake hands at all but will say peace be with you. I always look forward to his ‘peace with you’ the most 🙂

When my oldest brother was like 5, he just watched Frosty the Snowman with the “No Money, No Ticket” line stuck in his head. So at mass when the collection basket was being passed around, he yelled "No Money, No Jesus!!" 😂
