This Weeks Funnies
| |
Six-year-old Annie returns home from school and says she had her first family planning lesson at school.
Very interested, her mother asks, "How did it go?"
"I died of shame!" she answers. "Sam from over the road, says that the stork brings babies. Sally next door said you can buy babies at the orphanage. And Pete in my class says you can buy babies at the hospital."
Her mother answers laughingly, "But that's no reason to be ashamed."
"Yes it is! I can't tell them that we were so poor that you and daddy had to make me yourselves!"
The two secrets to success: 1. Don't share everything you know. 2.
New Baby - Four-year-old Jacob was thrilled when he and his family moved out of a cramped apartment and into a house. Jacob got his own bedroom and no longer had to share a room with his one-year-old sister Tia. Six months after the move, his father Thom sat Jacob down and said, "I have great news. You're going to have a baby brother." "Will I be sharing my room with him?" Jacob asked. Thom nodded, saying "Big brother and little brother together." Jealous that his sister would still have a room to herself, Jacob, now five, groused, "I wish you could save your receipt so you can return him for a girl."
Linda, my mother-in-law, asked her granddaughter, my niece Carling if she was excited about her upcoming birthday. "Yes," Carling gravely replied, "it's a big birthday, I've
waited my whole life to be five." |
