Eight Children

A proud mother telephoned a Sunday newspaper to place an announcement that she had given birth to eight children. The line was bad, and the operator didn’t hear the message. „Would you repeat that?”, the operator asked.

„Not if I can help it,” said the mother.

Praying with the Sick

A young boy called the pastor of a local „corner” church to ask the pastor to come by to pray for his mother who had been very ill with the flu. The pastor knew the family and was aware they had been attending another church down the road. So the pastor asked, „Shouldn’t you be asking Brother Simon down the road to come by to pray with your mom?”

The young boy replied, „Yeah, but we didn’t want to take the chance that he might catch whatever it is that Mom has.”

Mother’s Visit

Mrs. Jones was reading a letter at breakfast. Suddenly she looked up suspiciously at her husband.

„Henry,” she said, „I’ve just received a letter from mother saying she isn’t accepting our invitation to come and stay, as we do not appear to want her. What does she mean by that? I told you to write and say that she was to come at her own convenience. You did write, didn’t you?”

„Er, yes, I did,” said the husband. „But I couldn’t spell ‘convenience,’ so I made it ‘risk.”

Little Johnny’s Turtle

„Mommy, my turtle is dead,” Little Johnny sorrowfully told his mother, holding the turtle out to her in his hand.

The mother kissed him on the head, then said, „That’s all right. We’ll wrap him in tissue paper, put him in a little box, and have a nice burial ceremony in the back yard. After that, we’ll go out for an ice cream, and then get you a new pet. I don’t want you….” Her voice trailed off as she noticed the turtle move. „Little Johnny, you’re turtle is not dead after all.”

„Oh,” the disappointed Little Johnny said. „Can I kill it?”
