Did you start?

[Karl-G]

An elderly friend of mine was recently sitting on a bench in a mall. A little boy approached him and asked "How old are you?" My friend answered "89," and the kid's eyes widened as he asked: "Did you start at 1 ?" True story. Sawgrass Mills.

Seems like the kind of cute story I used to read in my mother's copy of the Reader's Digest

Here is a list of similar things (including that one with a different age) I sent out earlier in the week in an email. Nos. 1 and 3 are my favorites.

 

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. My grandson 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 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 said "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 old," he replied.

 

6. A little girl was diligently pounding away on her grandfather's word

processor. 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 I was, I teasingly replied, "I'm not

sure." "Look in your underwear, Grandpa," he advised, "mine says I'm 4 to

6."

 

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'."

 

11. Children's Logic: "Give me a sentence about a public servant," said a

teacher. The small boy wrote: "The fireman came down the ladder pregnant."

The teacher took the lad aside to correct him. "Don't you know what pregnant

means?" she asked. "Sure," said the young boy confidently. 'It means

carrying a child."

 

12. A grandfather was delivering his grandchildren to their home one day

when a fire truck zoomed past. Sitting in the front seat of the fire 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."

 

13. A 6-year-old was asked where his grandma lived. "Oh," he said, "she

lives at the airport, and when we want her, we just go get her. Then, when

we're done having her visit, we take her back to the airport."

 

14. Grandpa is the smartest man on earth! He teaches me good things, but I

don't get to see him enough to get as smart as him!

 

15. My Grandparents are funny, when they bend over; you hear gas leaks, and

they blame their dog.
