SEEING THE FUNNY SIDE

SNAP JUDGEMENT

The other day, someone asked me if I knew what self-effacing meant.

Using my smartphone to demonstrat­e, I pointed out the camera and said, “Other people facing…”

Then I turned it around and said, “Selfie-facing.”

KNOW YOUR LIMITS

You think you’re pretty OK at doing stuff, then you try to plug something into an outlet you’re not looking at directly.

COMEDY COMES IN THREES

My three-year-old granddaugh­ter, Olivia, was playing with her two-

year-old cousin Nathan on the gravel patio when I spotted them throwing stones. I called them both over and told them to stop.

“OK, Grandma,” they responded before scampering off.

About an hour later, I caught them throwing stones again. I took my granddaugh­ter aside and asked, “How many times do I have to ask you to stop?”

She thought about that for a moment before responding, “Three, Grandma.”

AFTER YOU

I was standing in a long lunch line with my husband when the guy in front of us looked down at my very pregnant belly, smiled, and asked, “What are you having?”

My impatient husband replied, “A steak sandwich.”
