My husband and I had been trying to have a third child for a while.
Unfortunately, the day I was to take a home pregnancy test, he was called out of town on business.
I had told our young daughters about the test, and they were excited.
We decided if it was positive, we would buy a baby outfit to surprise their father when he got home.
The three of us stood in the bathroom eagerly waiting for the telltale line to appear.
When it did not, my thoughtful seven-year-old gave me a hug.
“It’s okay, Mom,” she said. “The next time Daddy goes out of town, you can try and get pregnant again.”
--Three Old Ladies Were Sitting At The Dinner Table--
Three old ladies were sitting at the dinner table discussing their problems with getting old.
The first one said,
“Sometimes I catch myself with a jar of mayonnaise in my hand while standing in front of the refrigerator, and I can’t remember whether I need to put it away, or start making a sandwich”.
The second lady says,
“Yes, sometimes I find myself on the landing of the stairs and can’t remember whether I was on my way up or on my way down”.
The third one says,
“Well, ladies, I’m glad I don’t have any of those problems, knock on wood”.
As she hit her knuckles on the table she looked up and said,
“That must be the door… I’ll get it!”
