Bowls of money

A SMALL boy stunned his parents when he began to empty his pockets of nickels, dimes and quarters. Finally his mother said, "Where did you get all that money?

"At Sunday school," the boy replied nonchalantly. "They have bowls of it."

"The big sissy"

One summer evening during a violent thunderstorm a mother was tucking her small boy into bed. She was about to turn off the light when he asked with a tremor in his voice, "Mommy, will you sleep with me tonight?" The mother smiled and gave him a reassuring hug. "I can’t dear", she said. "I have to sleep in Daddy’s room." A long silence was broken at last by a shaken little voice saying, "The big sissy."

Why are your hair white?

One day, a girl walk to her mother and look at her mother’s hair and sadly said: "Why are some of your hair white mom?"

The mother replied, "Well, every time that you do something wrong and make me cry or unhappy, one of my hairs turns white.

The girl thought about this revelation a while, and then said, "Momma, how come *all* of grandma’s hairs are white?"

Guess what?

A second grader came home from school and said to her mother, "Mom, guess what? We learned how to make babies today."

The mother, more that a little surprised, tried to keep her cool. "That’s interesting," she said, "How do you make babies?"

"It’s simple," replied the girl. "You just change ‘y’ to ‘i’ and add ‘es’."

Can you croak?

A little girl says, "Grandpa, can I sit on your lap?

"Why sure you can," her grandfather replied.

As she is sitting on grand dad’s lap she says, "Grandpa, can you make a sound like a frog?"

"A sound like a frog? Well, sure Grandpa can make a sound like a frog."

The girl says, "Grandpa, will you please please MAKE a sound like a frog?"

Perplexed, her grand dad says, "Sweet heart, why do you want me to make a sound like a frog?"

And the little girl says, "‘Cause Grandma said that when you croak, we’re going to Florida!"

Natural or bleached?

Did you hear about the two females who were watching a blonde walk by? The first one said, "I wonder whether she’s a natural blonde or a bleached blonde."

Her friend said, "She’s a suicide blonde."

The other said, "Suicide blonde? What’s that?"

The friend said, . . . "Dyed by her own hand!"
