Visionary
in the making?
A
6-year-old girl decided to paint her nails pink and yellow for
Easter.
Hairdresser:
"Do you think that that will look good?"
Girl:
"I looked inside my mind; it looked good!"
Hairdresser:
"I wish I could do that!"
Girl:
"Just close your eyes and look at it."
Hairdresser:
"If only life were that simple, a lot of problems could be
solved a lot more easily."

Counting
down early, ready for Christmas?
"You've
heard of mail that goes astray and arrives at its destination
years later," a daughter was telling. When she called her mom
April 3 to exchange news,
this was one of the first things her mother said:
"Got an
interesting piece of mail. It was a newspaper. I didn’t realize
the date on it when I opened it up. I turned it to the back, and
there was a great big 12-page ad. It said something like
'Countdown to Christmas,’ and I said, 'What in the world is
this?!' Then I looked at the date: December 21st, 1999. Right on
time."

Not
THAT bad!
An
elderly woman was reminded over the phone by her credit union that
it was time to order more checks. In assessing how often she
needed to write a check, she really thought she could do away with
them. When reminded in perso n,
she responded, "Oh, I don’t think I’ll be needing
them." The credit union woman looked shocked, then dismayed.
Obviously thinking the worst, she patted the elderly woman’s
hand, crooning "awwwww!"

Stormy
weather is upon us
Some
ladies swapped storm stories. It got down to how different family
members usually respond when a storm is going on. The one lady
said they were bringing their dog in because the storms bothered
him. The dog had a strange behavior. "The dog would sit and
stare at you when there was a storm going on," she said.
"If you were in bed at night, you could feel him staring at
you. One night our son woke us screaming. The dog staring at him
made him think someone was in his room."
The
dog sleeps outside now.

building alarm the most times, alerting police twice in one week.
