Children have an extraordinary curiosity when it comes to understanding the world around them. Just pair that curiosity with their naturally occurring bluntness and innocence, and you'll realize how hilarious children actually are. While their observations and questions do make their parents want to disappear into thin air if the kids share them in public, it's best not to stop them from being curious, at least for entertainment value. And while children can have funny questions about just anything, religion is no exception, especially for those raised in Christian families. So when one teacher asked her 3rd-grade students to write letters to God, they posed him with some very interesting questions. While probably unintended to be funny, the kids provided some comedy-gold moments. So scroll below to read the letters.

Why do these all look incredibly fake to me? The penmanship, spelling, even some of the words used. I may be wrong, if so I do apologize.
Stay skeptical. I'm very skeptical myself, and I thought the same thing.
Yeah, I'm not buying it. These aren't typical 3rd grade sentences. Even well read third graders.
My guess is it may be a private religious school, (I go to one) and our main focus, and what we score on best in standardized tests is writing, so that may be this school's strong suit, or they just may have a more advanced curriculum.
I totally agree. They all seems to be written by the same person, just with different types of handwriting. Some of the sentences are adult-sayings. It's totally fake
It might be they collected these and typed them up, then later someone re-typed them in handwriting fonts.
I think they're from the 1950s or 60s. Look at the names. Nobody names their children Nan or Susan or Johnny any more.
They could have been dictated by the kids and written by the teacher.
There are from a book called "Children's Letters To God (I bet you're surprised by that!!). I had it as a child in the 70's. I read it so many times I still remember these letters. s-l1600-5d...83c754.jpg
At the very least, they don't seem to be currently popular names (not all but some). Not a single one with extra random vowels, or spelled backwards.
thought the same thing
Because they're all fake.
I've read many of these before, some years ago. I think they were probably real originally but have been re-presented here.

These really aren't typical 3rd grade sentences, nor the first thing a kid would think to write given that chance? Also heard the girrafe joke before. I would expect something like, "Dear God bless my family and teacher." end
I hope these were all from religious schools. And no I'm not athiest. I just don't think religion should be in school unless it's a class about all religions.
Amen (from an atheist)
I definitely agree. Children should not be forced to believe in religion. The only belief system that should be taught in schools is tolerance and acceptance.
I think they're pretty phony myself!! These names haven't been used in 50 years! Such crappy work. Straight from the Brady Bunch...;-D
Pretty good guess. They are from a book published in the 70's. It would have been nice if proper credit had of been given to the source.
