COUNTRY
CASSEROLE
On the morning
after our Harvest Thanksgiving Service, the village schoolteacher
asked the Sub A class to name some of the things they had seen
in the church. "Carrots," said one child. "Parsnips," answered
another. "Cabbages," said a third.
"Good," replied their teacher approvingly. "Now, can you give
me one word to cover all those things?"
After a long silence, one small boy raised his hand. "Please
miss," he piped. "Gravy." |
I
KNEW
that the end
of an era had come in our house when one day my eldest son came
to me, tooth in hand. "Let's cut out the middleman, mom," he
said. "You give me the money, and I'll give you the tooth."

My son was an
awful flirt. So when my daughter answered the telephone,
she was not surprised that a young woman asked for him.
My daughter told her my son was not at home, but that she would
tell him who had called.
"Just tell him the girl from last night," the caller replied.
Matter-of-factly my daughter asked, "What time last evening?"

MY
SISTER
and I were sorting
out my mother's old and unused recipe cards. As they were in
quite a mess, we would often have to reverse them to their proper
position. When I got to the dessert cards, I noticed that all
but one were in order and the right way up. Imagine my surprise
when I lifted it and read the words "Upside-down cake!" |
MY FEET
My 3 year old son put his shoes on by himself. I noticed that
they were on backwards. I said,
"Son, your shoes are on the wrong feet." He looked up at me
with a raised brow and said
" Don't kid me Mom, I KNOW they're my feet!" |
