"What Am I?"
Miss Jones had been giving her second-grade
students a lesson on science. She had
explained about magnets and showed how
they would pick up nails and other bits of iron.
Now it was question time, and she asked,
"My name begins with the letter 'M' and I
pick up things. What am I?"
A little boy on the front row proudly said,
"You're a mother!"

"Heavenly Mother"
{DO take it with a grain of salt, please!!}
A very devout nun dies and goes to heaven. Upon
arrival, she is greeted with ceremony and honor
and told she may immediately have any wish she
chooses while her place is prepared for her.
She humbly and politely replies that she would like
an audience with Holy Mary, if this is possible. Peter
agrees on the spot and escorts her personally to a
little door, hitherto unnoticed in the great vault of the
firmament. He knocks softly. There's a murmured
reply from within, and he opens the door and
indicates to his guest to enter.
Within, sitting in a plain chair is a middle-aged Jewish
woman in the garb of the first century knitting.
The nun sits reverently for some time at Mary's feet
and finally gestures so as to ask a question. Mary
looks up from her knitting and indicates it is OK to ask.
"Reverend Mother, please tell me, you were chosen
from all women to be the mother of G-d. You are a
simple Jewish woman, I know. But if you could, just
give me an inkling of what it felt like when it happened
when Jesus was born?"
With a distant look in her eyes, Mary replies,
"Vell, Ich hob gevelt a Maydel...." ***
