Family Funnies

I was in the process of asking Luke how his day at school was when a shy smile moved across his face and he informed me that he had a crush on a girl in his class named Sabrina. Naturally I was interested in the kind of female Luke was interested in, so I started asking questions, here's how it went. M- "What does she look like?"
L- "I don't know."
M- "Well, is she cute?"
L- "ya."
M- "What color hair does she have?"
L- "Blonde"
M- "What color are her eyes?"
L- "Blue" (I was impressed no hesitation here)
M- "Is she a nice girl?"
L- "Yes, she always helps others at her table."
L- "Her birthday is in March like mine."
M- "Oh yeah, when is it? Do you know?"
L- pause...pause...pause...I think it's March 32nd.
M- I just smiled and changed the subject!!!




Tonight I was helping Luke with his math homework. They are counting coins. Here's the math question. John has 10 pennies. He wants to trade for nickles. How many nickles can he get? Luke was stumped. I asked him how many cents are in a nickle and penny, which he knew. Then I asked him which one is more, a penny or a nickle.....he answered, "10 pennies" I asked "why?" He answered matter of fact, "because 10 pennies would be heavier in your pocket than a nickle." The lesson was stopped and I sent him to get the coin jar.
