New driver
A teenager who had just received her learner’s permit offered to drive her parents to church. After a hair-raising ride, they finally reached their destination.
When the mother got out of the car she said emphatically, “Thank you!”
“Anytime,” her daughter replied with a smile.
As her mother headed for the church door, she said, “I wasn’t talking to you. I was talking to God.”
Baseball game
During a game, the coach asked one of his young players: “Do you understand what cooperation is? What a team is?”
The little boy nodded yes.
“Do you understand that what matters is winning together as a team?”
The little boy nodded yes.
“So,” the coach continued, “when a strike is called, or you are out at first, you don’t argue or curse or attack the umpire. Do you understand all that?”
Again, the boy nodded yes.
“Good,” said the coach. “Now go over there and explain it to your mother.”
When not to eat
Mom walks into the kitchen and sees her daughter with the whole box of animal crackers spread on the counter top.
Mom: “Why did you pour out the whole box?”
Daughter: “The box says, ‘Do not eat if the seal is broken. I’m looking for the seal.”
