Childhood Wisdom
A father was asked by his friend, "Has your son decided what he wants to
be when he grows up?"
"Yes, he wants to be a garbage collector," replied the father.
His friend thought for a moment. "That's a rather strange ambition to
have for a career," he said.
"Not really," said the father. "He thinks that garbage collectors only
work on Tuesdays!"
When her young son developed an ear infection, his mother took him to
the pediatrician.
The mother was very impressed with the way the doctor
directed his comments and questions directly to the boy.
At one point the doctor asked her son, "Is there anything you are
allergic to?"
The boy nodded and whispered in the doctor's ear.
Smiling, the pediatrician wrote out a prescription and handed it to the
mother. Without looking at it, she tucked it into her purse.
Later, the pharmacist filled the order, remarking on the unusual
food-drug interaction her son must have.
When he saw the mother's puzzled expression, he showed her the label on
the bottle.
As per the doctor's instructions, it read: "Do not take with broccoli."
When a girl was about four years old, she still had a hard time grasping
the concept of marriage. So, her Father got out their wedding album,
thinking visual images would help, and explained the entire service to
her.
Once finished, the Father asked if the girl had any questions, and she
replied, "Oh. I see. Is that when Mommy came to work for us, Daddy?"
