That's a tough one. Reaching into the way, way back machine ...
My sister and I were sitting in church and I was chattering along quietly, mostly to myself but also to her. She became annoyed and told me, "Shhhhhh. Stop talking in church!"
My version of the childish "You're not the boss of me," came out as, "Oh, yeah? Well, who's gonna make me?"
She pointed to the back of the church and said, "See those two men standing by the door? They're hushers."
Well I'm not sure if this counts but when I was a little kid I used to think that God's name was Harold because I thought that the first verse of the Lord's Prayer went like this:
"Our Father who art in Heaven, Harold be thy name."

Does someone who believes they acturally are Jesus who has returned count?. I mean, there are some crazy scripture interpretations but acturaly claiming to be Jesus returned takes the cake.
One man's humor is another man's offense. But here goes. This is from the Hebrew Scripture and is often quoted as an instructional teaching aid. Yeah. If you like nursery school... See if you love it (just a little). As you may know, I enjoy wandering around in conversational excursions especially about the Bible and Jesus and frankly? There are not a lot of people who engage with me. Not all are wanderers. We are all fellow travelers, sure, but few identify as Bedouins. Or would that be a "Spiritual Bedouin"?
Wish me luck - I'm writing this one "on the fly":
This is called "treading the grain" and the animal analogy is an admonition not to muzzle the mouth of the ox that treads the grain. It's okay for me (or other Bible researchers) to eat some as they work it. This particular step would be called "gathering" --> not soul winning which would be the collection of standing wheat, sometimes called, "Bringing in the Sheaths".
Ready for humorous Hebrew(ism)? This one is pretty cool, but nobody preaches it. It's an instruction to those who are still babies in the Lord (which is good, we are commanded to "Desire the sincere milk of the Word of God," and it goes something like this.
Try to say these Hebrew words out-loud to get the flavor. Don't worry about how to pronounce, you'll "hear" it. Don't worry about the exact order for now. I'll correct myself later (maybe).
צַו tsav - צַו tsav, ---> [צַו tsav, tsav; or צָו tsâv; from H6680; an injunction:—commandment, precept. ]
צַו tsav - צַו tsav, ---> repeat refrain
קַו qav- קַו qav, ---> [קַו qav, קַו qav From קָוָה (H6960); a measuring line | (BDB) onomatapoetic mimicry of Isaiah's words, perhaps senseless ] קַו qav- קַו qav,---> repeat refrain
זְעֵיר zᵉʻêyr - זְעֵיר zᵉʻêyr ---> a little, a little
The first repetition is TSAV, used in mocking mimicry of Isaiah's words meaning "Law" or "Command" or "Precept"
The 2nd repetition is QAV, Onomatopoetic --> onomatopoeic words like ‘bang’ and ‘coo’". Often repeated.
The final phrase is ZE'EYR, a little
זְעֵיר zᵉʻêyr, zeh-ayr'; from an unused root (akin (by permutation) to H6819), meaning to dwindle; small:—little.
____________________________________
We have to be able to hold onto multiple concepts at the same time for this one.
TSAV, Tsav. (sounds like our word 'salve')
TSAV, Tsav.
QAV, Qav. (Sounds like it rhymes with 'salve' and could be similar to the sound, Quav
QAV, Qav.
Then comes the insult ---> to make small, or tiny or to make into little teeny bites. The idea of baby food comes to mind.
We have a sing-song insult here. A sound like "Nanner-naner"
Can you hear it?

Okay, now that we've broken it all down and analysed it sufficiently to have broken it apart so that even a baby to chew, it's time to reassemble, to synthesize, to put it back together (in a new and 'better?' format).
Here a little, there a little.
A little here, a little there.
Line upon line, precept upon precept.
Precept upon precept, line upon line.
We search around in the context of ISA 28:9 to find:
[Isa 28:9-10 KJV] Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? [them that are] weaned from the milk, [and] drawn from the breasts. For precept [must be] upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, [and] there a little:
I like the BlueletterBible Interlinear Tool. It's actually a Reverse Interlinear so you too may join in laughing at me about that one.

I just don't wanna edit again.
2 Kings 2:23-24
Careful who you're calling "bald-head," right?
23 From there, Elisha went up to Bethel, and as he was walking up the road, a group of young men came out of the city and jeered at him, chanting, “Go up, you baldhead! Go up, you baldhead!”
24 Then he turned around, looked at them, and called down a curse on them in the name of the LORD. Suddenly two female bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the boys.…
