Wednesday Funnies

For lack of some hilarious pictures for you all to chortle at, this Wednesday post features some hilarious snippets we took from a "Parents" magazine. Circa early 1900s, this proves that since the beginning of time, kids have always made us wonder whether they are actually smarter than we are.

1933
I had gone out one afternoon and when I returned I could hear Dorothy scolding at the top of her voice. I went into the room where she and her brother were, and there was Jimmy, sitting still. I said, "Why can't you be like Jimmy? He isn't saying a word." She responded, "Of course not. He's Papa coming home late, and I'm you." (Editor's note: "Ouch..." - E,J,K,J)

1934
Paula was telling her playmates about a grown-up who was a vegetarian. "But she's only an inside vegetarian, not an outside one, 'cause she wears a fur coat."




1953
After Mary had a tonsillectomy, she was heard to remark, "Of the two times I've been in the hospital, I like being born best."


1958
At Sunday School, little Bobby was inspired by the story of Eve's creation from one of Adam's ribs. later in the day, Bobby felt a pain in his side. "Oh, Mother," he cried. "I think I'm going to have a wife!"
(Editor's note: "This one made us chuckle. Loudly." - E,J,K,J)


1963
Miss Watson, the teacher, assigned the second grade to illustrate the song "America the Beautiful". When 7-year-old Michael handed in his paper, Miss Watson recognized the flag, the map, the mountains, even the artist's idea of "from sea to shining sea". But she didn't recognize the airplane, covered with red and yellow balls. "That" explained Michael, "is the fruited plane".

1971
We were on our way to the doctor's office when my 3-year-old asked if she and I could exchange doctors. Puzzled, I asked her why? "Because," she explained, "my doctor only gives me lollipops and bubble gum. Yours gives out babies!"

Happy Wednesday!
