Jake's Aching Side
At Sunday School they were teaching how God created everything, including human beings. Jake seemed especially interested when they told him how Eve was created out of one of Adam's ribs.
Later in the week his mother noticed him lying down as though he were ill, and said, "Jake what is the matter?"
Jake responded, "I have a pain in my side. I think I'm going to have a wife."
