Eight-year-old Larry asked his mother:
“Mom, can you buy me those two toys that we saw at the store the other day?”
His mother replied: “I will buy you one of them. One is enough to keep you busy at playtime.”
Later that day, Larry started doing his homework.
His mother said: “Remember that you have two assignments as homework today.”
Larry: “I will do one of them. One is enough to keep me busy at study time.”
One day a father gets out of work, and on his way home he suddenly remembers that it’s his daughter’s birthday.
He dashes over to a toy shop and asks the sales person: “How much for one of those Barbies in the display window?”
The salesperson returns: “Which one do you mean, Sir? We have Work Out Barbie for $19.95, Shopping Barbie for $19.95, Beach Barbie for $19.95, Disco Barbie for $19.95, Ballerina Barbie for $19.95, Astronaut Barbie for $19.95, Skater Barbie for $19.95, and Divorced Barbie for $199.95.”
The amazed father asks: “How much?! Why is the divorced Barbie $199.95 and the others only $19.95?”
The annoyed salesperson sighs and answers: “Sir, the other Barbies only come with an outfit. Divorced Barbie comes with: Ken’s Car, Ken’s House, Ken’s Boat, Ken’s Furniture, Ken’s Computer and one of Ken’s best friends.”
A kindergarten class had a homework assignment to find out something exciting and relate it to the class the next day.
When the time came to present what they’d found, the first little boy the teacher called on walked up to the front of the class, and with a piece of chalk, made a small white dot on the blackboard and sat back down.
Puzzled, the teacher asked him what it was. ‘It’s a period,’ he replied.
‘I can see that,’ said the teacher, ‘but what is so exciting about a period?’
‘Darned if I know,’ chirped the little boy, ‘but this morning my sister was missing one, my mother fainted, my dad had a heart attack, and the boy next door joined the Navy!’
