When my daughter was 3 and my son was 5 I had brought them in the bathroom. In the toilet was a huge bunch of white and blue gunk. I asked them, “Do you know what this is?” My son said, “No, Mama,” he was always sincere. The 3 yr old, she was never sincere, said no also, with a 3 yr old guilty face. A few minutes later my daughter said, “Know what Mama? That stuff really looks like Aim toothpaste doesn’t it?” I left the room and laughed all day long! — Marie Casey, Belgrade ME

Little Ethan was Xmas shopping with Mammy and he found a coffee mug for Memere that spelled Grandma. Later Mammy found one that said Grandpa. Ethan said “ No, no, no Mammy – Grandpa doesn’t drink coffee, he only drinks whiskey!” – Mammy Richards, Livermore

I, the grandfather, invited my great grandson to go to a small hands-on farm animal park. When I went to pick him up his mother asked to go. My great grandson and I waited for her in the truck for what seemed like an eternity. From the back seat came his voice saying “Grandpa, women are slow pokes not like men who just like to get in the car and go.” And then said, “ Women need to learn to become fast pokes!” I laughed so hard I had tears in my eyes. – Larry Dyer, Casco
