A vegan said to me, “People who sell meat are gross!” 
 
I said, “People who sell veggies are grocer.”

I saved a lot of money on a home security system by hanging a picture of  
my paycheque on the front door.

My sunglasses are prescription so if they’re stolen, it becomes two people  
who can’t see.

In ancient times cats were worshipped as gods; they have not forgotten.

During a summer-camp singalong around the campfire, I grabbed my guitar and  
accompanied the kids.  
 
After five or six songs, I asked, “Okay, what should we sing next?” 
 
One 10-year-old requested, “A cappella.”

Just after my son turned three, his little sister was born. He was  
delighted to see her but didn’t really know what a newborn baby was like.  
 
He observed her for a while, then said,  
“She doesn’t move... She needs a battery!”

During our “careers” meeting at Brownies, the girls were sharing their  
aspirations: nurse, teacher, chef, vet.  
 
Then an odd one: manager. 
 
Curious, I asked the seven-year-old why she wanted to be a manager. 
 
She responded, “My daddy says his manager doesn’t do anything all day,  
so I want that job.”

A dark day for parents is when their child learns what “hypocrite” means.

My dad took my four-year-old brother and five-year-old sister fishing on  
his boat. They were asking about his fish finder, and he explained that it  
showed how deep the lake was. 
 
He mentioned the water was 20 feet deep. Looking amazed, my sister 
asked, “Whose feet? Yours or mine?”

Attempting to stay calm, I asked my five-year-old if there was a spider on 
my back.  
 
He gave me a quick once-over, screamed and ran away.

Me, to my eight-year-old: 
Why do you watch You-Tube videos of other people playing video games when  
you could play them yourself? 
 
Eight-year-old:  
Well, why do you watch Tik-Tok videos of people dancing when you could do  
the dances yourself?

I wrote this on the whiteboard during discussion,  
“William Shakespeare (1564-1616),” and a sixth grader asked me,  
“Is that Shakespeare’s real phone number?” 
 
I once overheard a student say,  
“I used to write my name in cursive. Now I just write it in English.”
