Cristmas stockings
Helping me sort clothes into “save” and “give away” piles, my six-year-old daughter came across a garter belt. “What’s this?” she asked.
“It’s a garter belt,” I said. Seeing that meant nothing to her, I added, “It’s for holding up stockings.”
“Ah,” she said, carefully placing it in the “save” pile, “we’ll use it next Christmas Eve.”
Better grades
The little boy wasn’t getting good marks in school.
One day he made the teacher quite surprised. He tapped her on the shoulder and said, “I don’t want to scare you, but my daddy says if I don’t get better grades, somebody is going to get a spanking.”
What’s Wrong With My Eyesight?
This woman rushes to see her doctor, looking very much worried and all strung out. She rattles off, “Doctor, take a look at me. When I woke up this morning, I looked at myself in the mirror and saw my hair all wiry and frazzled up, my skin was all wrinkled and pasty, my eyes were blood-shot and bugging out, and I had this corpse-like look on my face! What’s wrong with me, Doctor?”
The doctor looks her over for a couple of minutes, then calmly says, “Well, I can tell you that there isn’t anything wrong with your eyesight.”
