Say the Funniest Things

I've posted lots of jokes below, but
here are some more links for you (I put new ones up every month and
with my newsletter. You can subscribe here).
- When my cousin Danielle was coaching
"Pee-Wee" gymnastics to 3 and 4-year-old girls, she was often in
stitches recalling their antics. One day, she was greeted by a triumphant
Shannon, galloping into the gym waving something in the air. "Look! See
what I wrote in the car?" she cried, as she presented Danielle with a
piece of lined paper with squiggles all over it. "That’s wonderful,
Shannon," Danielle gushed. "What does it say?" Shannon rolled
her eyes. "I don’t know. I can’t read yet."
- I knew my housekeeping had slipped since my
children were born, but I hadn’t realized how much until my aunt came for
a visit. I took my 3 ½ year old daughter Rebecca to see her one morning at
my mother’s house, and we arrived to find her ironing her clothes. Rebecca
stared at her, dumbfounded. "What are you doing?" she asked. She
had never seen an iron before.
- When my sister-in-law Sara was five, her mother
was teaching her how to cross a street safely. Hand in hand, they waited for
the light to turn green. After staring at the road, Sara asked, "Mommy,
what are those white lines for?". Her mother replied, "That’s to
mark where the pedestrians cross." Confused, Sara asked, "But then
where do us Baptists cross?"
(this appeared in the March 1999
edition of Christian Reader magazine)
- A mother took her three-year-old
daughter to church for the first time. The church lights
were lowered, and then the choir came down the aisle, carrying
lighted candles. All was quiet until the little one
started to sing in a loud voice, "Happy Birthday to you,
happy birthday to you...."
- A little boy walked down the beach,
and as he did, he spied a matronly woman sitting under a beach
umbrella on the sand. He walked up to her and asked,
"Are you a Christian?" "Yes."
"Do you read your Bible every day?" She nodded her
head, "Yes." "Do you pray often?" the
boy asked next, and again she answered, "Yes."
With that he asked his final question. "Will you hold
my quarter while I go swimming?"
-
The math teacher saw that little Johnny wasn't paying attention
in class. She called on him and said, "Johnny! What are 4, 2,
28 and 44?" Little Johnny quickly replied, "NBC, CBS, HBO, and
the Cartoon Network!"
-
When I stopped the bus to pick up Chris for preschool, I
noticed an older woman hugging him as he left the house. "Is that
your grandmother?" I asked. "Yes, "Chris said. "She's come to
visit us for Christmas." "How nice," I said. "Where does she
live?" "At the airport," Chris replied. "Whenever we want her,
we just go out there and get her."
-
In the supermarket was a man pushing a cart that contained a
screaming, bellowing baby. The gentleman kept repeating softly,
"Don't get excited, Albert; don't scream, Albert; don't yell,
Albert; keep calm, Albert." A woman standing next to him said,
"You certainly are to be commended for trying to soothe your
son, Albert." The man looked at her and said, "Lady, I'm Albert.
-
This little grandmother was surprised by her 7 year old grandson
one morning. He had made her coffee. She drank what was the worst
cup of coffee in her life. When she got to the bottom, there were
three of those little green army men in the cup. She said, "Honey,
what are these army men doing in my coffee?" Her grandson said,
"Grandma, it says on TV 'The best part of waking up is soldiers
in your cup!'"
-
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 five-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 Faaaather. And to the sonnn......
and into the hole he gooooes."
- While working for an organization that delivers lunches to elderly
shut-ins, I used to take my four-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!
