Five Year Old Speaks
A five-year old boy had never spoken a single word.
One afternoon, as he sat eating his lunch he turned to his mother and said, “Soup’s cold.”
His astonished mother exclaimed, “Son, I’ve waited so long to hear you speak. But all these years you never said a thing. Why haven’t you spoken before?”
The boy looked at her and replied, “Until now, everything’s been great.”
Nerves of steel
An iron worker calmly walked the narrow beam 15 floors above the city street. Even with heavy winds blowing and a driving rain falling, he showed no fear and never hesitated.
When he came down to ground level a man who had been watching asked, “How did you ever get a job like that?”
“Well,” replied the ironworker, “I used to drive a school bus, but my nerves gave out.”

New daddy
One night a wife found her husband standing over their newborn baby’s crib. Silently she watched him. As he stood looking down at the sleeping infant, she saw on his face a mixture of emotions: disbelief, doubt, delight, amazement, enchantment, skepticism. He would stand back, shake his head and say, “Amazing,” while smiling from ear to ear.
Touched by his unusual display and the deep emotions it aroused, her eyes glistened as she slipped her arms around him.
“A penny for your thoughts,” she whispered in his ear.
“Isn’t it amazing!” he replied. “When you take the time and really look close, how can anyone make a crib like that for only R 350.00”
