I bet they just really wanted to be heard.
Hmm.. how nice, a tantrum on paper. Should have offer some communion wine.
Any excuse to get out of a sermon. Can't say I blame them.
Yes. It's so important to stay hydrated!!!
P.S. A girl I bummed through Italy with told me about a children's story she had once read about the most wonderful taste in the world. The moral of the story is that the most wonderful taste is that of a long, cool drink of water when you're dying of thirst in the desert. I think of that story all the time.
A favorite taste forum today, perchance?
Mine is probably toast. Or a crisp, sweet apple. Or a really good, cold beer in a chilled glass on a hot day.
P.S. DEAR JASON- WHEN I TRY TO SIGN IN, IT SAYS THAT BOTH MY USER NAME AND EMAIL ARE ALREADY IN USE... UM... WHAT THE HECK? I HAVEN'T REGISTERED YET...
p.s. @ kc- i answered your stew question the other day but forgot to mention the following items of goodness: apples, pears, sweet corn, maple syrup. that is all now.
I grok water. Water is God.
this really looks like something my daughter would write. Water sounds really good right now, though.
save me jeebussssss!!!
Oh, this is just precious. And quite familiar; I could see my own six-year-old self writing exactly that.
Though it's even funnier to imagine this was written by an adult rather than a child... "Honey, I'm thirsty, let's go. I SAID I'M THIRSTY!"
I want French-toasted Fig Newtons.

YUM!
I can relate. I have lived through a drought so severe that not. one. drop. of rain fell for three solid years. Clean water, sans chemicals and colours courtesy of the local water authority, is better than any champagne.
My favourite taste is a perfectly ripe mango. Followed by cold, semi-sweet "cava" (Spanish champagne). Together, or apart...delicious.
this looks like the kind of note my ex-wife would stick to a flower pot with a thirsty plant that I forgot to give water...would always make me wonder why she'd rather spend her time writing the note rather than giving the plant water herself...I'll never know
this is the BEST!!! hilarity!!! i love it!!!
Nifty find
I've never had the pleasure of having theese cards in any of the faiths I was raised in. I was to ask for things in silent prayer mostly. I bet it'd be really fun to go through all the children's requests maybe even a bit eye opening at times. That is if they collect the cards I kinda imagine everyone sliding them in a box and it being confidential.
I think I want world peace or apple juice ...
P.S. I be having the same problem as SARASARA
it's nice to know I'm not alone but I do hope someone could help.
I"m thirsty! NOW!
Farmer, French toast fig newtons, sounds delicious, how do you make them?
I read that book once.
It was called "The Search for Delicious" or something. Cute story.
Poor child. Its parents should be made aware of the vast importance of proper hydration in church environments.
Nice arrow.
i'm thirsty too. but after smoking a bit i binged on salty snax last night. now i am thir-stee!!!!!
favorite taste? lemon poppy muffin (warm) with milk. at least that's my fave this morning...
This makes me think of my dialysis patients. Because their kidneys don't work, they are ordered to limit their fluid intake.
Jesus answered her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, 'Give me a drink,' you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water...Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again,but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life." John 4:10- 14
Considering it's Easter, and this was found in a church, I thought John 4 would be appropriate. Maybe, since this was found on the back of a prayer request card, whoever wrote it was petitioning Jesus for Living Water, like the woman He is talking to in the passage above.
I'm not trying to start a debate, I just thought it would be a nice reminder, considering it's Easter (and also Passover)
Good heavens, have the potted plants learned to write now??
Beware!!
The other day my boss, visiting from the UK, said he hates ice cold water, that it makes him thirsty. WTF???????? I know really cold beverages are more of an American thing, but seriously.
hope someone got this kid some water... last time I was in church my baby brother fainted, it looked like a mini seizure and scared the crap out of me- dr later said it was from dehydration in a warm building... funny part of the story is that apparently I yelled out "what the hell?!" rather loudly when he slumped onto my shoulder. the priest there doesn't like me much...
ahem.
my fav taste is semi cold water. that and fresh from the garden strawberries with a touch of sugar in the raw. mmmmmmmmmm
Does it strike anyone as creepy that the kid drew a devil's tail after the word NOW? Freaks me out a tad.
hmmmm...when i was a child we used to have well water and it was the best tasting water ever and they final ran water pipes to our community and we recieved city water, which tastes pretty bad.
best taste...fresh grown tomatoes cut in slices for a bacon and tomato sandwich on toasted white bread with mayonnaise.
This has to be written by a kid; only someone really young would throw a tantrum (interesting that it's a written one) over being thirsty. Must say this is the most interesting Find in several days.
Two days ago when we were all amusing ourselves by giving "facts" about ourselves I asked if anyone could pick out the true fact about me from the 4 I posted.
@ Minphx No I have never walked on the Moon!
@ KC in Sunshine Van Yes, The Americorps one is correct! Those 2 years are probably the best thing I have ever done and I am very proud of my service and of having made it through 2 years successfully.
Just a note for SaraSara I found in my junkbox a link to register. Wierd since Found is saved as a safe site and all other messages have come to my inbox.
and I most definately want apple juice now...
It's been a few hours and world peace just isn't that quenching.
The "arrow"/"devil's tail" is most likely an exclaimation (I don't care if I spelt that wrong) point.
I gotta pee I gotta pee I gotta pee I gotta pee!
Ahhhhh......
I KNOW THE FEELING! That's why you chew gum, that way you aren't thirsty during the miserably long and boring church service your parents dragged you too.
So THIS is what led to...

maybe the church was out of holy water
Come to the Mississippi River valley. We got all the water you'nes need.
That's some wicked cotton mouth.
@Nickie in Kentucky
Now I'm craving a 'mater sammich!
ooo ooo
i know what her next note will be.
I want to pee. I want to pee.
I want to pee. I want to pee.
I want to pee. I want to pee.
I want to pee. I want to pee.
I want to pee.
@Nickie in Ky,
Yummmm...you described one of the best tasting combinations in the whole world. *sigh* To have one of Daddy's home grown maters again.
@LancePants,
That reminded me of a cartoon I once saw of a puppy discovering the Great Outdoors: "Wass this? Wass this? Wass this? Yow! Gotta pee!! Wass this? Wass this?"
This is how I feel when I'm separated from my water bottle for more than 15 minutes. I drink so much water it's ridiculous. In photos of me, there's usually a Poland Spring bottle tucked under my arm or sticking out of my pocket. The trick is to buy a bottle now and then, and refill it out of a Brita pitcher for a couple weeks. I would use tap water if not for the fact that when you turn on a faucet in New Haven, what comes out smells like a swimming pool.
I'll be going now - I have to piss like a race car.
@Farmer in the Dell, how do you make french toasted Fig Newtons? That sounds fascinating.
I'm so hung over I want water NOW too!
It may be bratty, but wouldn't we all prefer our children's tantrum be better written rather than oral? Freaking out in print while stoically keeping your mouth closed is pretty impressive for a kid of any age. Either this one has developed a good sense of self-control, or perhaps the fear of G-d keeps him/her quiet...
A good four inches of snow for Easter. That's doing it right!
I would imagine that french toasted Fig Newtons are made like regular french toast... with a substitution! An odd combination, but I'd try it!
P.S. Jason, I'm having a terrible time trying to log in. Do we know what the problem is?
This is something I would do. Even our writings are similar haha xD I'm glad my mum didn't drag me to the church though o.o
Favorite taste? Ice cold peach flavored Nestea =D no doubt about it =^__^=
I work for a natural foods grocery store and about 4 months out of the year, I truly experience bliss when we have the esteemed Satsuma Mandarin-Easy to peel, sweet, and everything a piece of citrus should be. Runner up is the Moro blood orange which tastes like raspberries. They are in season right now, by the way. Best eaten right before you lean in for a kiss. Tee hee!
As Veruca Salt's mother looks on, her grand daughter makes true her prophecy of "just wait until YOU have children of your own!"
I hate those colors together!
Post-note mustard yellow and red. It's horrid.
This is hilarious. Reminds me of the time I was with my SIL and her two girls and the one started out (all the while escalating the pitch of her voice to near ear-splitting decibels):
I'm thirsty
Mom, I'm really thirsty
I'm really really thirsty
Mom, I need some water
MOM, I need a drink of water
MOM, I really really need a drink of WATER
MOM, I HAVE TO HAVE WATER RIGHT NOW
Needless to say, MOM pulled a U-turn in the middle of heavy traffic so we could go hit uph a McDonald's drive through and get "A cup of water, please. No that's all. Yes, just the water. Yes, just water. No really, that's all. Water. In a cup. Thank you."
This really does look like a note my 5-year-old would write. She leaves me notes around the house like, "I'm bored." If she asks me for water or OJ or whatever and I am busy at the moment, I will later find a note in the kitchen saying, "Mommy -- what's taking so long?"
Danna, sounds like your niece is a spoiled little brat. Good luck with that.
1
christ has died
christ is risen
christ is thirsty again
next note will say,
"change my water into wine change my water into wine change my water into wine change my water into wine change my water into wine...! NOW!!!"
but only the 'NOW'. i write big and messy and angular, and i never see handwriting that even looks a little like mine. except THIS. even though it's only for one word...cool.
It sounds like God needs to perform a miracle on the wine. Without water there is no life.
DefInitely.
I guess 'God' was thirsty.
Muahahaha.
A note from hell?
