1. She was in the bathroom, putting on her makeup, under the watchful eyes
of her young granddaughter, as she'd done many times before. After she
applied her lipstick and started to leave, the little one said, 'But Gramma,
you forgot to kiss the toilet paper good-bye!' I will probably never put
lipstick on again without thinking about kissing the toilet paper
good-bye...
2. My young grandson called the other day to wish me Happy Birthday. He
asked me how old I was, and I told him, '62.' He was quiet for a moment, and
then he asked, 'Did you start at 1?'
3. After putting her grandchildren to bed, a grandmother changed into old
slacks and a droopy blouse and proceeded to wash her hair. As she heard the
children getting more and more rambunctious, her patience grew thin.
Finally, she threw a towel around her head and stormed into their room,
putting them back to bed with stern warnings. As she left the room, she
heard the three-year-old say with a trembling voice, 'Who was THAT?'
4. A grandmother was telling her little granddaughter what her own childhood
was like: 'We used to skate outside on a pond=2 0and I had a swing made from a
tire; it hung from a tree in our front yard. We rode our pony. We picked
wild raspberries in the woods.' The little girl was wide-eyed, taking this
all in. At last she said, 'I sure wish I'd gotten to know you sooner!'
5. My grandson was visiting one day when he asked, 'Grandma, do you know how
you and God are alike?' I mentally polished my halo and I said, 'No, how are
we alike?'' You're both very old,' he replied.
6. A little girl was diligently pounding away on her grandfather's
PC. She told him she was writing a story. 'What's it about?' he
asked. 'I don't know,' she replied. 'I can't read.
7. I didn't know if my granddaughter had learned her colors yet, so I
decided to test her. I would point out something and ask what color it was.
She would tell me and was always correct. It was fun for me, so I continued.
At last she headed for the door, saying, 'Grandma, I think you should try to
figure out some of these yourself!'
8. When my grandson Billy and I entered our vacation cabin, we kept the
lights off until we were inside to keep from attracting pesky insects.
Still, a few fireflies followed us in. Noticing them before I did, Billy
whispered, 'It's no use Grandpa. Now the mosquitoes are coming after us with
flashlights.'
9. When my grandson asked me how old I20was, I teasingly replied, 'I'm not
sure.' 'Look in your underwear,Grandpa,' he advised. 'Mine says I'm four to
six.'
10. A second grader came home from school and said to her grandmother,
'Grandma, guess what? We learned how to make babies today.' The grandmother,
more than 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'.'

carrying a child.'
12. A nursery school teacher was delivering a station wagon full of kids
home one day when a fire truck zoomed past. Sitting in the front seat of the
truck was a Dalmatian dog. The children started discussing the dog's
duties.' They use him to keep crowds back,' said one child. 'No,' said
another. 'He's just for good luck.' A third child brought the argument to a
close. 'They use the dogs,' she said firmly, 'to find the fire hydrants.
