We swept him up and rushed him to the emergency room. No stitches were needed but we spent the night with him in his room just in case the bleeding started again. Second child: We walked over to her, picked her up and quickly bandaged her up. We spent the next two hours rocking her in the living room to comfort the pain. Third child: I told my wife that if he was still crying in a couple of minutes, we should go o

Two girls board a crowded bus and one of them whispers to the other, "Watch me embarrass a man into giving me his seat."

Am I glad to see you! Why, you're almost a stranger. My, but I'm tired!" The sedate gent looked up at the girl. He had never seen her before but he rose and said pleasantly, "Sit down, Mary, my girl. It isn't often I see you on washday. No wonder you're tired. Being pregnant isn't easy. By the way, don't deliver the wash until Thursday. My wife is going to the District Attorney's

She showed him a bottle costing $50. "That's a bit much," said Tom, so she returned with a smaller bottle for $30. "That's still quite a bit," Tom groused.

One day the girl's father went over to the other farmer's house and said that he didn't want their children dating any more. The boy's father asked, "Why not?"
