Again, the answer was, “NO!” By now I was starting to smile.

Hey, this was fun! “Well, then, if I was kind to animals and gave candy to all the children, and loved my husband, would that get me into Heaven?” I asked them again. Again, they all answered, “NO!” I was just bursting with pride for them.

Well, I continued, “Then how can I get into Heaven?”

A six-year-old boy shouted out, “YOU GOTTA BE DEAD FIRST”!
