The little Bailey boys

The little Bailey boys, Timmy, 11, and Bobby, 9, are the scourge of their neighborhood. Whether a cat was set on fire, or a garbage can tipped over, or a garter snake slipped through a doggie door, EVERYONE in the neighborhood knows that "the Bailey boys must have done it." Their reputation stands out at home, at school, and at church.

Mr. and Mrs. Bailey are helpless. They've tried everything from punishment to bribery. Nothing works. The kids are incorrigible.

So when a new minister appears at the local Baptist church, Mr. Bailey decides to let him have a go at straightening out the kids. The pastor has a reputation for being mean and tough. Timmy, the older terror is the first to face him in his office.

Pastor Blackburn, scowling: "SO. Why do you think you are here/"

Timmy: "I dunno."

Pastor, raising his voice: "Of course you know. You know where you are don't you?"

Timmy: "Y-y-yes sir."

Pastor: "So where?"

Timmy: "In,-in church sir."

Pastor, louder and threatening, "Right ! And where is God?"

Timmy, becoming terrified: "I,- I,- I dunno sir."

Pastor, waving and screaming: "Of course you know ! TELL ME."

Timmy, now sobbing, "I DON''T know."

Pastor, shaking his fist and out-of control, "For the last time, WHERE IS GOD?"

Well, Poor Timmy can't take any more. He jumps from his chair, bolts from the church and high-tails it for home. He races upstairs, finds his little brother in his room and screams, "Bobby, throw on a jacket and let's get out of here."

Bobby says, "My gosh, why?"

Timmy shouts, "God is missing. And they think we did it."
