A woman and her little girl were visiting the grave of the little girl’s grandmother. On their way through the cemetery back to the car, the little girl asked, “Mommy, do they ever bury two people in the same grave?”

“Of course not, dear.” replied the mother, “Why would you think that?”

“The tombstone back there said ‘Here lies a lawyer and an honest man.’”

A first-grade teacher collected well-known proverbs. She gave each child in her class the first half of a proverb and asked them to come up with the remainder of the proverb. Their insight may surprise you.

Better to be safe than . . . punch a 5th grader

It’s always darkest before . . . daylight savings

You can lead a horse to water but . . . how?

Don’t bite the hand that . . . looks dirty

If you lie down with dogs, you’ll . . . stink in the morning

Happy the bride who . . . gets all the presents

Don’t put off till tomorrow what . . . you put on to go to bed

Children should be seen and not . . . spanked or grounded

You get out of something what you . . . see pictured on the box

Better late than . . . pregnant

It is Thanksgiving Day and a family is preparing dinner awaiting the arrival of the children’s grandparents. Thomas, who is four is running around looking for is new pair of grey socks. He ventures up to the washroom where his mother is putting makeup on. Not realizing the boy is there she yells “shit” when she accidently gets makeup in her eyes. Never hearing the word before, the boy asks her, “Mommie, what does shit mean?”

The mother quickly replies, “Shit is just another word for makeup dear.”

Thomas then asks his mom if she knows where his socks are and she tells him to go downstairs and ask his father.

The boy’s father is stuffing the turkey when he cuts his finger by mistake. He says “fuck.” The boy asks him if he’s seen his socks and the father tells him to go look in his sister’s room. Before the boy leaves he asks his father what fuck means and the father says “stuff”. “Like stuffing a turkey.”

The boy goes to his sister’s room and finally finds his socks in the bedroom and puts them on just as the doorbell rings. Thomas runs down the stairs and opens the door. He greets his grandparents by saying “Hello grandma and grandpa, mommie is upstairs putting shit on her face and daddy is in the kitchen fucking the turkey…”

Sandy began a job as an elementary school counselor and was eager to help the students. One day during recess, she noticed a girl standing by herself on one side of a playing field while the rest of the kids enjoyed a game of soccer at the other.

Sandy approached and asked the girl if she was all right.

The girl said she was.

A little while later, however, Sandy noticed that the girl was in the same spot, still by herself.

Approaching again, Sandy offered, “Would you like me to be your friend?”

The girl hesitated, then said, “Okay,” looking at the woman suspiciously.

Feeling that she was making progress, Sandy then asked, “Why are you standing here all alone?”

“Because,” the little girl said with great exasperation, “I’m the goalie!”

A little boy hears the word whorehouse in school and asks his father what it means. His father is quite shocked, and replies: “Well, uh… you go there to… have a good time.” The boy starts screaming and hollering that he wants to go there too, but his father insists that he’s too young.

Saturday night his dad and a few friends go to “Suzie’s” to “have a good time”, not knowing the little boy is following them.

After his father leaves, the little boy enters the whorehouse and tells the madame that he wants to have a good time. She’s a bit puzzled at first, but being a kind-hearted lady she gives him three doughnuts and tells him to leave.

Later that night he comes home, his parents all worried. His father approaches him first and asks him where he’s been.

“IN A WHOREHOUSE!” he screams proudly.

“WHAT? Well… uh… how was it?”

“I managed the first two without any problem, but I just licked the last.”
