==========================
.
A man went to the police station wishing to speak
with the burglar who had broken into his house the
night before.
.
"You'll get your chance in court," said the desk sergeant.


"No, no, no!" said the man. "I want to know how he got
into the house without waking my wife. I've been trying to
do that for years!"
.
==========================
.
She had a wedding to go to, and needed a wedding gift.
Aha, she thought, I have that monogrammed silver tray
from my wedding that I never use. I'll just take it to a
silversmith and have him remove my monogram and put
hers on it. Voila, one cheap wedding present."
.
So, she took it to the silversmith and asked him to
remove her monogram and put the new one on.
.
The silversmith took a look at the tray, shook his head
and said, "Lady, this can only be done so many times!"
.

I'd had a pretty hectic day with my four-year-old.
When bed time finally came, I laid down the law:
"We're putting on your p.j.s, brushing your teeth,
and reading ONE book. Then it's lights out!"
.
Her arms went around my neck in a gentle embrace,
and she said, "We learned in Sunday school about
little boys and girls who don't have mommies and
daddies."
.
Even after I'd been such a grouch, I thought, she was
still grateful to have me. I felt tears begin to well up in
my eyes, and then she whispered, "Maybe you could
go be THEIR mom?"

My 2-year-old son asked our baby sitter for help in
getting his boots on. With her pulling and him pushing,
the boots still didn't want to go on. When the second
boot was on, she had already worked up a sweat. She
almost whimpered when my son said, "Wrong feet!"
.
She looked and sure enough, they were on the wrong feet.
It wasn't any easier pulling the boots off than it was putting
them on. She managed to keep her cool as together they
worked to get the boots back on,this time on the right feet.
.
He then announced, "These aren't my boots."
.
She bit her tongue rather than get right in his face and scream,
"Why didn't you say so?" like she wanted to. Once again
she struggled to help him pull the ill-fitting boots off.
.
He then said, "They're my cousin's boots. My Mom made
me wear them."
.
She didn't know if she should laugh or cry. She mustered
up the grace to wrestle the boots on his feet again.
.
She said, "Now, where are your mittens?"
.
He said, "I stuffed them in my boots..."

This teacher went into her classroom about fifteen minutes
before the class was supposed to begin and caught a bunch
of boys in a huddle on their knees in the corner of the room.
She demanded of them what they were doing, and one of them
hollered back, "We are shooting craps."
.
She said, "That's all right. I was afraid you were praying."
