When
I picked up my wife from work one afternoon, she seemed irritated. She
confessed that the day hadn't gone well, and
on top of
everything else, a young customer had addressed her as "ma'am."
"I'm
not that old," she insisted. "I deserve more respect!"
She
vented the whole way home while hitting the scan button on the radio.
Finally
I asked, "What are you looking for?"
She replied, ÒThe Oldies Station.Ó
ÒWhat
is that sound?Ó a woman asked at our nature center.
ÒItÕs
the frogs trilling for a mate,Ó Patti, the naturalist, explained. ÒWe have a pair in the
science room. But since theyÕve been together for so long, they no longer sing
to each other.Ó
The
woman nodded sympathetically, ÓThe trill is gone.Ó
A
little boy walked up to the librarian to check out a book entitled
ÒCOMPREHENSIVE GUIDE FOR MOTHERS.Ó
When
the librarian asked him if it was for his mother, he answered, Òno.ÕÓ
ÒThen
why are you checking it out?Ó
ÒBecause,Ó
said the little boy confidently, ÒI just started collecting moths last
month!"
A group of Americans were traveling by
tour bus through Holland. As
they stopped at a cheese farm, a young guide led them through the process
of cheese making, explaining that goat's milk was used.
She
showed the
group a lively hillside where many goats were grazing. "These" she
explained "are the older goats put out to pasture when they no longer
produce." She then asked, "What do you do in America with your old
goats?"
A
spry old gentleman answered, "They send us on bus tours!"
