A young boy, about eight years old, was at the corner
"Mom & Pop" grocery picking out a pretty good size
box of laundry detergent. The grocer walked over, and,
trying to be friendly, asked the boy if he had a lot of
laundry to do.
"Oh, no laundry," the boy said, "I'm going to wash
my dog."
"But you shouldn't use this to wash your dog. It's very
powerful and if you wash your dog in this, he'll get sick.
In fact, it might even kill him."
But the boy was not to be stopped and carried the
detergent to the counter and paid for it, even as the
grocer still tried to talk him out of washing his dog.
About a week later the boy was back in the store to
buy some candy. The grocer asked the boy how his
dog was doing.
"Oh, he died," the boy said.
The grocer, trying not to be an I-told-you-so, said he
was sorry the dog died but added, "I tried to tell you
not to use that detergent on your dog."
"Well, the boy replied, "I don't think it was the
detergent that killed him."
"Oh? What was it then?"
"I think it was the rinse cycle!"

"The Patriot"
Memorial Day weekend was coming up, and the
nursery school teacher took the opportunity to tell
her class about patriotism.
"We live in a great country," she said. "One of the
things we should be happy is that, in this country,
we are all free."
One little boy came walking up to her from the
back of the room. He stood with his hands on
his hips and said. . . .
"I'm not free. I'm four."
