Life’s Like That

FACE VALUE

During my 55th high school class reunion, I spotted an old friend.

“Bill!” I shouted. “You look exactly the same as you did in high school.”

He nodded. “Now I know why I never got a date in high school.” SUBMITTED BY PATTY CHANDLEE

TECHNOPHOBE

My six year old’s school assignment was to draw a challenge she thought she could overcome. So she drew a picture of herself teaching me how to use the TV remote. @MAUGHAMMOM ON TWITTER

LIES WE TELL OUR KIDS

We got our daughter to eat fish by calling it Argentinian chicken.

Our parents used to tell my only brother and me that we used to have another brother who turned into a mushroom from not taking a

bath. Even added him to the family photo albums.

My dad said if I looked after a special growing rock and watered it each day until it stopped growing, then I could get a dog. I’d water it, and every week, while I was at school, he’d replace it with a slightly bigger rock.

When I was little, my dad told me that toys grew under the weeds in the garden and that if I pulled them, eventually a toy would pop out. And I believed it! Sources: Boredpanda.com and Reddit.com

SHRINKAGE

While at the shops, I passed two women, neither of whom looked particularly happy. Especially the one who said, “Nothing in my size fits me anymore.” SUBMITTED BY MARY WATERS
