KIDS AND LIFE ~ A NEW GENERATION

NUDITY
I was driving with my three young children one warm summer evening
when a woman in the convertible ahead of us stood up and waved. She
was stark naked!

As I was reeling from the shock, I heard my 5-year-old shout from the
back seat, "Mommy, that lady isn't wearing a seat belt!"

OPINIONS
On the first day of school, a first-grader handed his teacher a note from
his mother. It read, “The views and opinions expressed by this child are
not necessarily those of his parents…”

KETCHUP
A woman was trying hard to get the ketchup out of the jar. During her
struggle the phone rang so she asked her 4-year-old daughter to answer
the phone.

“Mommy can't come to the phone to talk to you right now, she's hitting
the bottle."

MORE NUDITY
A little boy got lost at the YMCA and found himself in the women's locker
room. When he was spotted, the room burst into shrieks, with the ladies
grabbing towels and running for cover.

The little boy watched in amazement and then asked, “What's the matter,
haven't you ever seen a little boy before?”

POLICE #1
While taking a routine vandalism report at an elementary school, I was
interrupted by a little girl about 6 years old.

Looking up and down at my uniform, she asked, “Are you a cop?”

“Yes,” I answered and continued writing the report.

My mother said if I ever needed help I should ask the police. Is that right?'

“Yes, that's right,” I told her.

“Well, then,” she said as she extended her foot toward me, “would you
please tie my shoe?”

POLICE #2
It was the end of the day when I parked my police van in front of the station.
As I gathered my equipment, my K-9 partner, Jake, was barking, and I saw
a little boy staring in at me.

“Is that a dog you got back there?” he asked.

“It sure is,” I replied.

Puzzled, the boy looked at me and then towards the back of the van. Finally
he said, “What'd he do?”

ELDERLY
While working for an organization that delivers lunches to elderly shut-ins, I
used to take my 4-year-old daughter on my afternoon rounds.

She was unfailingly intrigued by the various appliances of old age, particularly
the canes, walkers and wheelchairs. One day I found her staring at a pair of
false teeth soaking in a glass.

As I braced myself for the inevitable barrage of questions, she merely turned
and whispered, “The tooth fairy will never believe this!'”

DRESS-UP
A little girl was watching her parents dress for a party. When she saw her dad
donning his tuxedo, she warned, “Daddy, you shouldn't wear that suit.”

“And why not, darling?“

“You know that it always gives you a headache the next morning.”

DEATH
While walking along the sidewalk in front of his church, our minister heard the
intoning of a prayer that nearly made his collar wilt.

Apparently, his 5-year-old son and his playmates had found a dead robin. Feeling
that proper burial should be performed, they had secured a small box and cotton
batting, then dug a hole and made ready for the disposal of the deceased.

The minister's son was chosen to say the appropriate prayers and with sonorous
dignity intoned his version of what he thought his father always said: “'Glory be
unto the Father, and unto the Son, and into the hole he goes.”
(I want this line used at my funeral!)

SCHOOL
A little girl had just finished her first week of school.

“I'm just wasting my time,” she said to her mother. “I can't read, I can't write, and
they won't let me talk!”

BIBLE
A little boy opened the big family Bible. He was fascinated as he fingered through the
old pages. Suddenly, something fell out of the Bible.

He picked up the object and looked at it. What he saw was an old leaf that had been
pressed in between the pages.

“Mama, look what I found,” the boy called out.

“What have you got there, dear?”

With astonishment in the young boy's voice, he answered, “I think it's Adam's underwear!”
