When a little boy in a suburban Philadelphia Sunday School class was asked where Jesus was born, he quickly answered, "Philadelphia!"

The teacher said, "No, try again."

The little boy thought about the question and said, "How about Pittsburgh?"

When the teacher again indicated that it was a wrong answer, the child shrugged his shoulders and said, "Then were is that Jesus was born?"

"Jesus was born in Bethlehem," stated the teacher.

"Oh, yeah, that is right," retorted the boy. "I knew it was somewhere in Pennsylvania!"
