Grateful teacherAfter school one day, a young first-grade boy was sitting at the kitchen table, eating his afternoon snack, when he blurted out, “Mom, the teacher was asking me today if I have any brothers or sisters who will be coming to school.”
The boy’s mother replied, “That’s nice of her to take such an interest, dear. What did she say when you told her you are an only child?”
She just said, “Thank goodness!”
Taxi Driver
A passenger in a taxi tapped the driver on the shoulder to ask him something.
The driver screamed, lost control of the cab, nearly hit a bus, drove up over the curb and stopped just inches from a large plate glass window.
For a few moments, everything was silent in the cab and then the driver said, “Please don’t ever do that again. You scared the living daylights out of me!”
The passenger, who was also frightened, apologized and said he didn’t realize that a tap on the shoulder could frighten him so much.
The driver replied, “I’m sorry. It’s really not your fault at all. Today is my first day driving a cab. For the last 25 years, I’ve been driving a hearse.”
Doing the Laundry
At Spring Break, a freshman brought a semester’s worth of dirty laundry home to wash. Soon after stepping into the laundry room, he shouted to his mom, “What setting do I use on the washing machine?”
“It depends. What does it say on your shirt?”
“Texas A & M.”
