"Airport"
Brendan had spent a week visiting his family in
Kentucky. His sister-in-law and seven-year-old
nephew went with him when he returned to the
airport. After verifying his seat number with the
counter attendant, Brendan walked back to his
relatives and stated that he'd have to wait an
additional three hours in the airport.
"How come?," his nephew asked.
"My plane has been grounded," Brendan explained.
"Grounded?" the little boy said. "I didn't know planes
had parents."

"The Greatest Baseball Player"
A child was in his backyard practicing baseball.
He said as he began, 'I'm going to be the greatest
baseball player ever!' Then he threw the ball up
and made a huge swing and missed.
He then picked up the ball again, said, 'I'm going
to be the greatest baseball player ever,' threw the
ball up, took a great big swing, and missed again!
He picked the ball up a third time, yet again said,
'I'm going to be the greatest baseball player ever,'
threw the ball in the air, made his biggest swing
yet, and missed the ball again.
Just then, the boy's mother called him in for
dinner. As he was walking into the house he
said to himself, 'Wow, I knew I was going to be
the greatest baseball player ever, but I never
knew I was such a damn good pitcher!'
