Kids Say the Funniest Things!!!
When my youngest daughter, Alicyn was about 3 1/2 years old, she had a terrible fear of spiders. California is full of spiders. You knock them down today, they are back tomorrow. Every time she went to the "potty" she would scream for me to come in with her if she saw a spider, even in the furthest corner of the room. I would assure her that the spider was more afraid of her than she was of it. I would tell her to pretend the spider wasn't there and that it wasn't even thinking about her. One evening, Alicyn was in the bathroom. She yelled for me to come and she yelled loudly. I asked her what she wanted. She yelled back, "Mom, there's a spider in here and he is thinking about me".
Funny Things Kids Say……………..
PaPa had spent hours putting up grandson Shawn's new trampoline.
He was sitting beside it watching Shawn do his "routine" when Shawn asked, "Papa, when I grow up and have a son, will you be dead yet?" Papa replied, "Well, I certainly hope not!" Shawn replied, "Good, then you can put one of these up for him!"
Alyssa, 3, had spaghetti for lunch with Grammy and Grand Dad. She explained to her Mommy, Kathryn, that it is spaghetti topped with butter, milk and cheese. She added, "It's so good it makes your heart ache."

To all mothers and grandmothers
There was a man who had worked all of his life, had saved all of his money, and was a real miser when it came to his money. Just before he died, he said to his wife, "When I die, I want you to take all my money and put it in the casket with me. I want to take my money to the afterlife with me." And so he got his wife to promise him with all of her heart that when he died, she would put all of the money in the casket with him. Well, he died. He was stretched out in the casket, his wife was sitting there in black, and her friend was sitting next to her. When they finished the ceremony, just before the undertakers got ready to close the casket, the wife said, "Wait just a minute!" She had a box with her, she came over with the box and put it in the casket. Then the undertakers locked the casket down, and they rolled it away. So her friend said, "Girl, I know you weren't fool enough to put all that money in there with your husband." "You mean to tell me you put that money in the casket with him???!!!" "I sure did," said the wife. "I got it all together, put it into my checking account and wrote him a check. If he can cash it, he can spend it."
Education's purpose is to replace
an empty mind with an open one.
Education is what survives when
what has been learned has been forgotten
If little else, the brain is an
educational toy.
Education is the ability to listen
to almost anything without losing your temper.
