Stan was tired of fishing so he went back to the cabin for a nap and his wife decided to row out in the lake and read her book a little bit. While she was out there a game warden rowed up and asked her for her fishing license. She replied she did not have one. The game warden said, “I am going to have to write you a ticket then.” She replied as you can see I am reading and not fishing. The game warden said, but you have all the equipment and you are in the lake. She replied, “OK, right the ticket and I will charge you the sexual assault.” “You can’t do that I never touched you.” “Ah” she said, “but you have all the equipment.”

My husband was just coming out of anesthesia after a series of tests in the hospital, I was sitting at his bedside. His eyes fluttered open and he murmured, “You’re beautiful.” Then later, I continued reading and he drifted back to sleep. Later he woke up and said, “you’re cute.” “What happened to beautiful?” I asked him. “The drugs are wearing off,” he replied.

I grew up in a non musical family, only one of our five siblings can carry a tune. So, I restricted my singing to private places like the bathtub or in the car. But one night, I softly sang a lullaby to my nine month old baby. After the first verse, he sweetly looked into my eyes, removed the pacifier from his mouth and placed it in mine.
