NAKED AGGRESSION

My two-year-old is getting a little extreme in her attempts to not look like me. Today she threw a tantrum because we were both wearing clothes.

ON THE MONEY

When my three-year-old daughter Aryiah got her first piggy bank, I noticed her admiring it.

“Cool!” I said. Are you going to put money in there?”

She looked at me and replied, “No. You are.”

PLUGGING AWAY

I’m at the library, and for some reason, when I plug my flash drive

into the computer, it doesn’t show up. I keep trying, but nothing happens. As an IT student, I know I can figure this out. So I spend 15 minutes changing settings and inserting and removing the flash drive.

Then a girl sitting next to me taps my shoulder and says, “You’re plugging in to my computer, not yours.”

TAPPED OUT

I wanted to buy tickets to a tap dancing performanc­e. Being on a budget, I was pleased when the girl behind the counter told me there were cheap seats available right in front of the stage, with only slightly restricted viewing. “What can’t you see exactly?” I asked. “Just their feet,” she replied.

GOOD NEWS, BAD NEWS

As if the declining health of my grandmothe­r weren’t enough, my parents suddenly had to contend with an ant infestatio­n. So I was glad to get a text from Mum updating me: “Exterminat­or was here; thinks she got the nest behind the microwave. She sprayed, and hundreds came out – dead and woozy. Grandma Marie the same.”
