ANGELS EXPLAINED BY CHILDREN

My guardian angel helps me with math, but he's not much good for  science.
                Henry, 8

Angels don't eat, but they drink milk from Holy Cows.
                Jack, 6

Angels talk all the way while they're flying you up to heaven. The  main subject is where you went wrong before you got dead.
                Daniel, 9

When an angel gets mad, he takes a deep breath and counts to ten. And  when he lets out his breath, somewhere there's a tornado.
                Reagan, 10

Angels have a lot to do and they keep very busy. If you lose a tooth,  an angel comes in through your window and leaves money under your  pillow. Then when it gets cold, angels go south for the winter.
                Sara, 6
