On the Lighter Side... THE SURPRISE
Elizabeth was surprised to receive ten dollars from her Aunt for her birthday. The Aunt asked how she was going to spend it. "I'm taking it to Sunday School and giving it to God." the little girl replied. "He'll be just as surprised as I was at not getting a dollar like usual." CONUNDRUM DU JOUR Why do those caution signs that say "Slow Children" have a picture of a running child? CITY KID ON THE FARM A city kid went to his grandpa's farm for the weekend. He tagged along as Pa did what had to be done around the place, taking it all in. Then Grandpa came across a cow having trouble calving. He didn't know how the whole process would be taken in by the six-year-old, but had no option but to get on with the job of assisting the birth. When the calf had been 'pulled' and the cow was happily cleaning it up, Pa asked the boy if he had any questions about what he had just seen. At first the kid seemed overwhelmed by the experience, but finally asked, "Just how fast was that calf going when it hit the cow's behind?" YOU KNOW YOU LIVE IN A SMALL TOWN WHEN... The "road hog" in front of you on Main Street is a farmer's combine. The local phone book has only one yellow page. Third Street is on the edge of town. You leave your jacket on the back of the chair in the cafe, and when you go back the next day, it's still there, on the same chair. You don't signal turns because everyone knows where you're going anyway. No social events can be scheduled when the school gym floor is being varnished. You call a wrong number and are supplied with the correct one. Everyone knows all the news before it's published; residents read the hometown paper just to see whether the publisher got it right.
