Brain Dead Quizzer

Have you ever been so tired that your mind just wouldn't bring up the right information? Worst yet, it brought up really silly information? Well here is a classic example of what the mind will do when it is tired.

I was quizzing my son from his Bible Quiz manual; he was very tired but thought he'd give it a try. This is how it went:
I asked him what the memory verse was under a certain section of the manual. He doesn't know so I say, "it starts with an M." This is how the answer went:
"Matthew, Malachi, Melchesidec" I tell him to go through the four gospels; he says, "January, Feburary, March"
I could not contain myself and started laughing. This poor kid, I finally let him know that it was Mark.

This is the same person who just 3 weeks ago brought home 3 trophies for having the highest scores and won a 2nd place trophy for the church. It just goes to show once again how important it is to keep rested up, especially if you are going to have a test or any other important thing that requires sensible brain activity.

Just remember: The four Gospels are not January, February, March and April; at least not in the King James Bible.
