Mummy, Mummy”, called Little Johnny one day, “do you know the beautiful vase in the dining room that’s been handed down from generation to generation?”

“Yes”, said his mother. “What about it?”

“Well the last generation just dropped it.” exclaimed Little Johnny.

An old man of ninety was sitting on a park bench crying. A policeman noticed this and asked him why he was crying.

“Well,” says the old fellow, “I just got married to a twenty-five year old woman. Every morning she makes me a wonderful breakfast,

In the afternoon she makes me a wonderful lunch. At dinner time she makes me a wonderful supper.
The policeman looks at the old man and says, “You shouldn’t be crying! You should be the happiest man in the world!”

So the old man says, “I know! I’m crying because I don’t remember where I live!”

I thought I wanted a career. Turns out I just wanted paychecks.

While I was dining out with my children, a friend of my neighbor, who recognized us, came over to our table, and we started talking.

He asked where my kids go to school. I told him we home schooled them. With a raised eyebrow, he asked if my husband is the sole breadwinner for our family.

I said, “No, I also work… but out of our home.”

Then, noticing our two-month-old son, he mentioned that his daughter had just had a baby, and he wondered what hospital our son was born in.

“He was born at home,” I answered.

The man looked at me and said, “You don’t get out much, do you?”
