A Child's Suggestion
Posted by: <@...>
We were seated at the dinner table: my wife, my seven year-old daughter
Bette, my 4 year-old son "Jimbo", and myself.
During dinner, my wife and I had noticed how well the kids were getting
along - none of the usual bickering, picking at each other, etc..
As we were just about finished eating, my son suddenly said, "I love
Bette! When I grow up, I'm gonna marry her!"
Well, my mind started spinning! I thought, "Oh no, how am I gonna explain
this to a 4-year-old?"
Just then, Bette, with all the childlike simplicity that only a 7-year-old
possesses, saved the day by saying, "Oh no, we couldn't do that, Jimbo!
Cause then our kids would only have one set of grandparents!"

House Call
Old Dr. Carver still made house calls. One afternoon he was called to the
Tuttle house. Mrs. Tuttle was in terrible pain. The doctor came out of the
bedroom a minute after he'd gone in and asked Mr. Tuttle, "Do you have a
hammer?"
A puzzled Mr. Tuttle went to the garage, and returned with a hammer.
The doctor thanked him and went back into the bedroom.
A few moments later, he came out and asked, "Do you have a chisel?"
Mr. Tuttle complied with the request.
In the next ten minutes, Dr. Carver asked for and received a pair of
pliers, a screwdriver, and a hacksaw.
The last request got to Mr. Tuttle. He asked, "What are you doing to my
wife?"
"Not a thing," replied old doc Carver. "I can't get my instrument bag
open."
