Kids! You gotta love 'em

Anthony, 3 years old, going on a shopping trip to the grocery store.
A nice lady stops and says, "What a cute little boy and what pretty brown eyes you have, where did you get such pretty eyes?"
Anthony answered, "I tank Mom got then from Wal mart."

Sissy, 2 years old, Uncle Ricky keeps picking on her until she gets aggravated.
Sissy turns around and says in a very agitated voice, "Leave me alone, you old...you old...you old dirty words."

Randy, 5 years old, graduating from kindergarten.
Mom says, "I am so proud of my big boy since he is graduating."
Randy answered, "It don't even count. I wasted a whole year I still have 12 years to go."

Randy, 3 years old, sitting on the doorsteps watching convicts pave Highway 19.
Mom asked, "Are you going to drive a big truck like Daddy when you grow up?"
Randy replies, "No, I am going to be a convict so I can drive a bulldozer."

Yvonne, 5 years old is starting kindergarten. Sissy only 4 also wants to go.
Sissy says, " I don't understand why I cannot go, I already know my VCR'S."

Johnny, 4 years old, was taken to church by his Mom every time the church door was opened. Obviously he assumed that when the word God was spoken, it had to be with the highest respect. Johnny was riding his tricycle. He ran over his Grandmother's sore foot. Without thinking , she yelled God-d@mmit. Johnny looked up and said, "Praise the Lord, Grandma!"

Heather, 3 years old, was sitting and playing with toys in the aisle at church. During the sermon, the preacher said, "And Jesus said, come hither to me." Heather went running to the pulpit. Her Mom came after her and she said, "But Mommy, he called me to him."

B.J., 5 years old, ran to tell his Granny, "Look, I found some squirrel eggs."
Later that night, Granny was telling his two older brothers, Dwight and Junior, the squirrel egg story. Neither made a comment. Granny said, "I thought you would get a laugh out of that since squirrels don't lay eggs. Dwight, age 12, said, "They were probably rabbit eggs."

As my family ages, we retained our sense of humor....or something very similar.

Glenn, 23 years old, goes into a tire store and asks the manager, "Why can my Daddy come in here and buy four tires and they last him 2 years, I buy 4 and they last me 6 months?" The manager replies, "How old is your Daddy and how old are you? That's why!"

Ricky, at 26 years old, drives 50 miles from home to the deer woods, has a flat and walks 5 miles to a phone to call his Dad. Dad asks, "Where is that new jack you just bought?" Ricky replied, "It is still at home in the box under my bed." Dad replied, "That is a good place for your jack, you can never tell when you may need to jack up a bed, bathtub or something else around the house."

Darrell, 15 years old, going down a hall in the wrong direction. The hall monitor said, "Whoa, this is a one-way corridor, what if everyone walked that way?" Darrell replied, "It would be a one-way corridor."

I hope these quips of humor from my family tree bring a smile to you. If not, go take a nature walk....rub some sunshine on your face...and hunt some rabbit eggs.

That little girl in the picture above is me. I do not know what I was thinking at the time but I know it was not, "Does this chair make my butt look big?"

The carefree, innocent, childhood years!

Long gone but long remembered.
