Day: January 29, 2016

* Watching a particularly romantic ending to a Disney animated video, my five-year-old sighed. “I hope I meet my prince someday,” she said wistfully  . “Of course you will,” I reassured her. “You know, I met my prince the day I met your daddy.” Puzzled she turned to me and said,  “Who was he?”

@ As a college professor, my husband has published several books. When he finished his latest book, I stopped at the supermarket to get some treats and bought some ice cream and champagne. As the clerk bagged my purchases she asked, “Celebrating something?”   “Yes,” I replied, “My husband just finished a book.”  The young lady thought for a moment and asked, “Is he a slow reader?”

My college aged daughter at the mall, locked her keys in the car which was an old, bright yellow, station wagon. She flagged down a policeman and asked him to open the car for her. The policeman asked for some identification to prove the car was hers. Her purse was in the car. She responded: “Take a look around, if I wanted to steal a car, would I choose this one?” The policeman considered the situation, he said, “Right” and opened the door.
