Askew Bible study

While in Mexico, I was helping out with bible studies for some kids. I read the verse John 10:14 which states, 'I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me'. Shortly after finishing this verse, the kids started laughing and the leader corrected me. Apparently, when I said oveja, the Spanish word for 'sheep', it sounded like abeja, the Spanish word for 'bee'. So what I ended up saying was, 'I am the good shepherd; I know my bees and my bees know me' Oops!
