My 5yo son pointed to an envelope with JENDI on it and said, “What’s that say, Mommy?”
“That’s my name.”
He quickly replied, “No. They spelled it wrong. It starts M-O-M…”
Did You Get A Ticket?
July 31, 2008 By 2 Comments
As I walked closer to the deli counter I noticed an older man scrutinizing the different types of turkey.
The elderly lady behind him said, “You didn’t get a ticket.”
“Huh?”
She repeated loudly, “You didn’t get a ticket.”
“There isn’t any.”
“Yes there is.”
“It’s empty.”
So she walked over and told the employee, “He says you don’t have any tickets.”
“We have tickets. They’re just stuck.”
She expertly fiddled with the bright red dispenser until she got a ticket then turned to hand it to the older man she was with.
“I’m already waited on.”
That’s how I became ticket number 59 at the deli counter.
When I’m Old Like Mommy

My 3 year old daughter says to the 2 year old, “When I’m big I’m going to have 2 little tiny babies. You can see them when I bring them home.”
My 5 year old son says, “I’m going to be big first.”
The 3 year old retorts, “But I’m going to be old too.”
“Like when you are seven?”
“Yea, I’m going to be big and not tell how old I am like Mommy.”
Marriage, Already?!

My 5 year old son asked me, “Mommy, do we marry sisters?”
I hesitantly replied, “No, we do not.” All the while wondering what brought that up.
Then he turned to his three year old sister and said, “Sorry, A– you’ll have to find somebody else. I don’t marry sisters.”
Stuff to Ponder

Thanks to an e-mail from my friend I have some questions for you.
Why do I find these intriguing?
- Can you cry underwater?
- How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered?
- Why do you have to ‘put your two cents in’… but it’s only a ‘penny for your thoughts’? Where’s that extra penny going to? [Surely they're worth more these days.]
- What disease did cured ham actually have? [I have to admit I actually laughed at this one.]
- How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage?
- How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage? [Hear! Hear!]
- If a deaf person has to go to court, is it still called a hearing?
- Why are you IN a movie, but you’re ON TV?
- Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?
- If the professor on Gilligan’s Island can make a radio out of a coconut, why can’t he fix a hole in a boat? [I distinctly remember asking my husband this question.]
- If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, what is baby oil made from? [hmm...]
- Why do we drive on a parkway and park on a driveway?
