“What is essential is invisible to the eye. It is only with the heart that one can see rightly.” – Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The Big Date
A young man called his mother and announced excitedly that he had just met the woman of his dreams. Now what should he do?
His mother had an idea: “Why don’t you send her flowers, and on the card invite her to your place for a home-cooked meal?”
He thought this was a great strategy and arranged a date for a week later. His mother called the day after the big date to see how things had gone.
“The evening was a disaster,” he moaned.
“Why? Didn’t she come over?” asked his mother.
“Oh, she came over, but she refused to cook.”
Caught Swearing
A little boy was caught swearing by his teacher.
“Jeffrey,” she said, “you shouldn’t use that kind of language. Where did you hear it?”
“My daddy said it,” he responded.
“Well, it doesn’t matter,” explained the teacher, “you don’t even know what it means.”
“I do, so!” Jeffrey corrected. “It means the car won’t start.”
