Shoe Cover-Up
One day a man drove his secretary home after she fell quite ill at work. Although this was an innocent gesture, he decided not to mention it to his wife, who tended to get jealous easily.
Later, that night the man and his wife were driving to a restaurant.
Suddenly he looked down and spotted a high-heel shoe half hidden under the passenger seat. Not wanting to be conspicuous, he waited until his wife was looking out her window before he scooped up the shoe and tossed it out of the car. With a sigh of relief, he pulled into the restaurant parking lot. That’s when he noticed his wife squirming around in her seat.
“Honey,” she asked, “have you seen my other shoe?”
Tough preschool
My wife recently retired from teaching. Several years ago, when she was teaching preschool, a little guy was enrolled who was just barely old enough to qualify. The parents and my wife were concerned that he might not be ready for school.
The first day during recess, the little guy came up to my wife and said, “Teacher, this school is hard!”
My wife knelt down to hear his concerns and asked, “Why do you think school is hard?”
He looked at her and rubbed his forehead, “Because when you bump into it, it hurts!”
Coin Problems
After tucking their three-year-old child Sammy in for bed one night, his parents heard sobbing coming from his room.
Rushing back in, they found him crying hysterically. He managed to tell them that he had swallowed a coin and he was sure he was going to die. No amount of talking was helping.
His father, in an attempt to calm him down, palmed a coin from his pocket and pretended to pull it from Sammy’s ear. Sammy was delighted.
In a flash, he snatched it from his father’s hand, swallowed, and then cheerfully demanded, “Do it again, Dad!”
