Patrick's Sense of Humour

I want to share with you this little insight into the way the sense of humour of Patrick our 12 year old son works but to start with I have to give you some background.
During the recent Olympics I was preaching a series of sermons that was called iRun. Using as the basis of my series 1 Corinthians 9:24. With titles such as iRun with Confidence, iRun in Good company and so on.
We have been trying to organise our workday so that which ever one of Perry or myself is preaching is at home in the afternoon to be there for the kids coming home, sometimes this does not work and they come to the church if we are not home.
The other piece of infomation that you need is that Perry is still playing soccer at the weekend and he has been getting injured fairly often ... not seriously but enough to make it a joking and talking point at the church.
One day Perry had taken Emily home and was working but I had the car and because the car was not in the driveway the twins decided to come down to the church without checking inside. When they arrived I was explaining to them the fact that just because the car is not at home does not mean that nobody is there and the whole the one who is preaching will be at home.
Patrick says to me "I thought that you were preaching"
I told him that it is now his dad who will be preaching. He came back as quick as anything.....
"Will he be preaching about the Para Olympics."
