Where is God?

A couple had two little boys, ages 8 and 10, who were excessively
mischievous. They were always getting into trouble and their parents
knew that, if any mischief occurred in their town, their sons were
probably involved.


The boys' mother heard that a clergyman in town had been successful in
disciplining children, so she asked if he would speak with her boys.
The clergyman agreed, but asked to see them individually. So the
mother sent her 8-year-old first, in the morning, with the older boy
to see the clergyman in the afternoon.


The clergyman, a huge man with a booming voice, sat the younger boy
down and asked him sternly, "Where is God?".


The boy's mouth dropped open, but he made no response, sitting there
with his mouth hanging open, wide-eyed. So the clergyman repeated the
question in an even sterner tone, "Where is God!!?" Again the boy made
no attempt to answer. So the clergyman raised his voice even more and
shook his finger in the boy's face and bellowed, "WHERE IS GOD!?"


The boy screamed and bolted from the room, ran directly home and dove
into his closet, slamming the door behind him. When his older brother
found him in the closet, he asked, "What happened?"


The younger brother, gasping for breath, replied, "We are in BIG
trouble this time, dude. God is missing - and they think WE did it!"
