A class of elementary students wanted to make a planter
to take home and wanted to have a plant that was easy to take care of in
it so it was decided to use cactus plants. The students planted the cactus
seeds in the planters and they grew nicely but unfortunately were not allowed
to take them home. See the above image to understand why. The cactus plants
were removed and a small ivy replaced them and the children were then allowed
to take them home.
A little boy returning home from his first day at school said to his
mother, "Mom, what's sex?"
His mother, who believed in all the most
modern educational theories, gave him a detailed explanation, covering
all aspects of the tricky subject.
When she had finished, the little
lad produced an enrollment form which he had brought home from school and
said, "Yes, but how am I going to get all that into this one little square?
There's an old priest who got sick of all the people
in his parish who kept confessing to adultery. One Sunday, in the
pulpit, he said, "If I hear one more person confess to adultery, I'll
quit!"
Well, everyone liked him, so they came up with a code word. Someone
who had committed adultery would say they had "fallen."
This seemed to satisfy the old priest and things went well, until
the priest died at a ripe old age. About a week after the new priest
arrived, he visited the mayor of the town and seemed very concerned.
The priest said, "You have to do something about the sidewalks in town.
When people come into the confessional, they keep talking about having
fallen."
The mayor started to laugh, realizing that no one had told the new
priest about the code word.
Before the mayor could explain, the
priest shook an accusing finger at the mayor and said, "I don't know
what you're laughing about, your wife fell three times this week."
Judi was startled to see the nonchalant way Jon
was taking the fact that his lady love was seen with another man.
"You said you love her and yet you saw her with another man and
you didn't knock the guy down?"
"I'm waiting," Jon said.
"Waiting for what?" asked Judi.
"Waiting to catch her with a smaller fellow."
