Hmmm.

.

One day, a teacher was talking to her first grade class about whales when a little girl had a question.

.

Little Girl: “Do whales swallow people?”

.

Teacher: “No, even though they are much bigger than a person, they have throat pleats that filter their food of krill and plankton.

.

Little Girl: “But Mrs. Thurston says

Jonah was swallowed by a whale.”

.

Teacher getting angry: “Blue whales cannot swallow people.”

.

Little Girl: “Well, when I get to heaven I’ll just ask Jonah if he was really swallowed by a whale.”

.

Teacher, still red with anger:

“What if Jonah went to hell?”

.

Girl: “Well, then you can ask him.”
