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 jumble 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 sweeties 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 "Y'UV GOTTA BE BLOOM'N DEAD ..........."
