Priceless Humor that a child can provide us
My daughter and I had moved into a new house. I was in the process of starting to unpack the boxes and arrange the furniture. My daughter who was 15months old and just crawling, was investigating the new house. After a short time I heard her crying upstair and I went to investigate. She had managed to crawl into the bathroom and had her finger stuck in the plug hole. I started to panic with visions of the fire department having to come out and rip our drains and shower apart. Now since we had only just finished the last load of furnture half an hour before and being in that load the fridge. This ment we had no ice or anything cold enough to put on her finger to slow the swelling. So I raced to the neighbour house. I had not even had a chance to introduce my self at this stage. No picture this a women who was close to hysterical and some one they had never seen before asking for ice. One I could explain enough to then they checked and discovered that they had no ice. All they had was an ice block. So we all decided that at this point it would have to do. So I raced home with the ice block. One entering the house my daughter was still crying. I entered the room and as soon as my daughter spotted the ice block she preceded to uncurl her finger and pull it out of the plug hole.

The embarassing words of a child
If you have children there at least has to be a handful of time when you wish that you would be able to sink into the ground after they have said somethings embarrasing. My daughter has a nack for doing it and this started from a young age. The most memorable one for me was when she would have been about three years old and we had friends over to watch the new Austin Power movie. This was the one where the fat bastard made his first apperance. One of my friends had brought a friend of hers with her that i had not meet before. This person was a rather large person. Now you can probable all guess what I gem of a daughter said. When the scene with the fat bastard came on she pipes up and says oh look thats you on tv. All I could do was try and sink further into my lounge and hide.

All glued up
I once worked with a lady who would do some very strange and very silly things. One of her finest mistakes was when she ordered some envelopes for the use of posting mail for the company. She was having some problems with getting the envelopes to stick after she had licked them. So she returned them to the supplier and got another box to replace. The same thing happened. So when she went to return them the suplier asked what had been going wrong. Once she explained that the glue was not working because they would not stick once she had licked them. This was when the supplier informed her she had been licking self sticking envelopes and had in fact been licking off the glue.
