A cute joke

A teenage boy had just passed his driving test and inquired of his father as to when they could discuss his use of the car.

In The Clouds - Somewhere

Mom watched from the shaded area on the veranda on that sweltering hot Saturday afternoon as Ambrose worked under the hood of my car. I lounged behind the wheel in the driver’s seat reacting to his occasional instruction. It was one of those hazy, lazy days for me.

Who Would Have Thought

John, hospitalized for a urinary tract problem, had to produce a sample of his urine for testing every day. Consequently a close watch was kept on the amount of liquid he ingested. His dislike of juice, especially apple juice, soon forced his creative mind into action.
A young, attractive nurse on morning duty insisted he drink [...]

Unwelcomed Captives

As I entered the kitchen the kettle whistled it’s urgent, shrill call. Glancing up at the clock, I thought, ‘perfect timing.’ My husband worked a 6 p.m. to 3 a.m. shift this week. I prepared his very large, very strong, very hot cup of coffee. That was the easiest way to wake him up. Hold [...]
