New Battery
An angry motorist went back to the garage where he had purchased an expensive battery for his car just six months earlier.
“Listen,” the motorist growled to the owner of the garage, “when I bought this battery you said it would be the last battery my car would ever need. It died after only six months!”
“Sorry,” apologized the garage owner. “I didn’t think your car would last longer than that.”
Dinner Party
A fellow hosted a dinner party for people from work and everyone was encouraged to bring their children.
All during dinner one co-worker’s tiny daughter stared at the man sitting across from her.
The girl could hardly eat her food from staring.
The man checked his tie, felt his face for food, patted his hair in place, but nothing stopped her staring. He tried his best to just ignore her but finally it was too much for him. He asked her, “Sweetie, why are you staring at me?”
The table went quiet for her response.
The little girl said, “I just want to see how you drink like a fish!”
Parenting Idea
I was with a friend in a cafe’ when a noisy car alarm interrupted our conversation.
“What good are car alarms when no one pays any attention to them?” I wondered aloud.
“Some are quite effective,” my friend corrected me.
“Last summer, my teenager spent a lot of time at the neighbors’.
Whenever I wanted him home, I’d go out to the driveway and jostle his car.”
