Missing Palm Sunday

On Palm Sunday, a five-year-old boy had a sore throat and stayed home from church with a babysitter. When the family returned home, they were carrying several palm branches. The boy asked them what they were. “People held them over Jesus’ head as He walked by,” his father told him. “Wouldn’t you know it,” the boy fumed. “The one Sunday I don’t go and Jesus shows up.” From "The Book of Church Jokes," published by Barbour Publishing, Inc., Uhrichsville, Ohio.
