YOUR SAY
WHAT FUNNY THINGS HAVE YOUR MM AND KIDS SAID LATELY? RE-GIFTING
At the school assembly, the principal announced: “Tomorrow is World Teacher’s Day. Think about something nice you could do for your teacher.” One 6-year-old student excitedly said: “It’s just been my birthday and I got heaps of presents. Maybe I can give you the one I hate the most!” DONNA WINCKEL, MOUNT GAMBIER, SA.
BRAIN SPACE
My son was so excited on the last day of Term 3 as he thought he was finished with kindergarten. “You still have one more term to go,” I told him. “No. I’m done with kindy,” he replied. “My brain is too full, there is no more space for any new information this year.” KIM, MITTAGONG, NSW.
BRADY BUNCH
On a bushwalk recently, at a very narrow part of the track, we had to wait for a class excursion to come through. After about two minutes of the whole class going through followed by their teachers, a male and female, my Miss 5 exclaimed, “Those parents have A LOT of kids.” MEREDITH LEE, WISHART, QLD.
FOREVER YOUNG
My nephew celebrated his 5th birthday with a party. When his guests had gone, his parents told him next year he’d be another year older. Master 5 said: “I don’t want to celebrate my birthday anymore so I won’t grow old.” CHRISTINA PINER, CHRISTCHURCH, NZ.
MERE MALE DOG TIRED
I came home feeling frazzled after a hard day at work. “How was your day? Are you okay?” I heard my Mere Male husband ask. As I turned to answer him I noticed he was crouched down speaking to the dog! ROSLYN DAY-ANDERSON, SEVEN HILLS, NSW.
POOCH PEPPER
While eating out, MM had a cheesy pasta dish. On asking how it was, I was told: “It had so much canine pepper in it, my mouth was on fire.” Sounds horrible, but what he meant was only cayenne pepper. A.W. CHALMERS, HIGHTON, VIC.
HOME STAY
My MM nephew bought a caravan so he could take his wife and two young boys on trips. I asked him where he was going on his first trip. He replied, “Just down the street – we are going for a sleepover first.” He wasn’t joking! CHRIS WALTON, HIGH WYCOMBE, WA.
AGE OLD
My MM friend was telling me how the old, well-dressed lady ahead of him at the bank had loudly abused the teller. I inquired as to her approximate age and he replied, “In her 60s.” When I gently reminded him that we were both in our 60s, he replied, “Yes, but we’re young.” L. LAHIFF, REDCLIFFE, QLD.
