A kindergarten teacher gave
her class a “show and tell” assignment. Each student was instructed
to bring in an object to share with the class that represented their
religion.

The first student got up in front
of the class and said, “My name is Benjamin and I am Jewish and this
is a Star of David.” The second student got up in front of the class
and said, “My name is Mary. I’m a Catholic and this is a Rosary.” The
third student got in up front of the class and said, “My name is
Tommy. I am Methodist, and this is a casserole.”
