DAD, ARE YOU GOD?

One day after church, the pastor asked his little boy what he learned in Sunday school. The lad said, "I learned that God loves me more than anything else in the whole world."

"What else did you learn?" asked his dad. "I learned that when I’m bad, He spanks real hard."

"What else did you learn?" "I learned that after He spanks you He picks you up and hugs you and holds you close and says, 'Son, it hurts me more than it hurts you.' Say, Dad, are you God?"

The pastor said, "No, son, I’m not God but I’m sure glad you got us confused."
