FUNNY STORIES While standing in the kitchen one
morning, I was holding my wife when our 4-year-old son came into the room and locked his arms around my legs. I looked down and saw him staring intently up at me. I began to think he was admiring me, his father, and thinking about what a great guy I am. So I had to ask him, “Son, what are you thinking?” He said, “You have something in your nose.” Larry Kingrey, Craig

Mother’s car. They always had great discussions on various subjects. On this day, the discussion turned to a school where Mother had taught English before retiring.
