I pulled into the crowded parking lot at the
local shopping center and rolled down the car windows to make sure my Labrador Retriever Pup had fresh air.
She was stretched full-out on the back seat and I wanted to impress upon her that she must remain there.
I walked to the curb backward, pointing my finger at the car and saying emphatically, "Now you stay. Do you hear me?"
"Stay! Stay!"
The driver of a nearby car, a pretty blonde young lady, gave me a strange look and said,
"Why don't you just put it in Park?"
At our Mother/Daughter banquet, the pastor's wife asked for the daughters to come forward to share what their mothers had taught them. She choose my 14-year-old daughter first. As I sat there reviewing all the wonderful things I had taught her, she said to the crowd, "My mom taught me to love my body now, because I'm going to hate it when I'm 40."
The small town's sheriff was also its veterinarian. One night the phone rang and his wife answered.
An agitated voice inquired, "Is your husband there?"
"Do you require his services as a sheriff or as a vet?"
"Both. We can't get our dog's mouth open, and there's a burglar in it."
