One day a little girl was sitting and watching her mother do
the dishes at
the kitchen sink. She suddenly noticed that her mother has several strands
of white hair sticking out in contrast on her brunette head. She looked
at
her mother and inquisitively asked, "Why are some of your hairs
white,
Mom?"
Her mother replied, "Well, every time that you do something wrong
and make
me cry or unhappy, one of my hairs turns white." The little girl
thought
about this revelation for a while and then said, "Momma, how come
ALL of
grandma's hairs are white?"

The children had all been photographed, and the teacher was
trying to
persuade them each to buy a copy of the group picture. "Just think
how nice
it will be to look at it when you are all grown up and say, 'There's
Jennifer; she's a lawyer,' or 'That's Michael. He's a doctor.'"
A small
voice at the back of the room rang out, "And there's the teacher.
She's
dead."

A teacher was giving a lesson on the circulation of the blood.
Trying to
make the matter clearer, she said, "Now, class, if I stood on my
head, the
blood, as you know, would run into it, and I would turn red in the
face." "Yes," the class said. "Then why is it that
while I am standing
upright in the ordinary position the blood doesn't run into my feet?"
A
little fellow shouted, "Cause your feet ain't empty."
