It seems to me that in a few of these statements, these precious children, in their innocent and uncomplicated understanding, could even teach the greatest theologians a thing or two! As for the rest, they are just too cute!

Angels Explained by Children:
I only know the names of two angels. Hark and Harold.
--Gregory, 5

Everybody's got it all wrong. Angels don't wear
halos anymore. I forget why, but scientists are
working on it.
--Olive, 9

It's not easy to become an angel! First, you die.
Then you go to heaven, and then there's still the
flight training to go through. And then you got to
agree to wear those angel clothes.
--Matthew, 9

Angels work for God and watch over kids when God
has to go do something else.
--Mitchell, 7

My guardian angel helps me with math, but he's not
much good for science.
--Henry, 8

Angels don't eat, but they drink milk from Holy Cows!!!
--Jack, 6

Angels talk all the way while they're flying you
up to heaven. The main subject is where you went
wrong before you got dead.
--Daniel, 9

When an angel gets mad, he takes a deep breath and
counts to ten. And when he lets out his breath,
somewhere there's a tornado.
--Reagan, 10

Angels have a lot to do and they keep very busy.
If you lose a tooth, an angel comes in through your
window and leaves money under your pillow.
Then when it gets cold, angels go north
for the winter.
- -Sara, 6

Angels live in cloud houses made by God and his
son, who's a very good carpenter.
--Jared, 8

All angels are girls because they gotta wear
dresses and boys didn't go for it.
--Antonio, 9

My angel is my grandma who died last year. She got
a big head start on helping me while she was still
down here on earth.
--Katelynn, 9

Some of the angels are in charge of helping heal
sick animals and pets. And if they don't make the
animals get better, they help the child get over it.
--Vicki, 8

What I don't get about angels is why, when someone is in love, they shoot arrows at them.
--Sarah,7

Dear Olive,
Angels no longer wear halos as a result of Vatican II! smile smile

Bill...who embraces VII and accepts in patience and prayer the growing pains that have accompanied it.
