Small Change

"Clothes"

A teen-aged boy with spiked hair, nose ring,
and baggy clothes was overheard telling
a friend, "I don't really like to dress like this,
but it keeps my parents from dragging me
everywhere with them."

"Tired Grandma"

Later, Grandma says, "Boy, I'm really
worn out. I remember being exhausted
when our kids were babies, Ben. Now,
with grandkids, I'm exhausted all over
again!"

Grandpa replies, "It's to be expected, Bea.
Why do you think they call folks our age
re-tired?"

"Small Change"

I was at the drugstore and noticed a young
male cashier staring at the pretty girl in
front of me. Her total came to $16.42, and
after handing over a $100 bill, she waited
for change.

"Here you go," said the cashier, smiling as
he returned the proper amount. "Have a
great day!"

Now I placed my items on the counter. The
tally was $32.79, and I too gave the cashier
a $100 bill.

"I'm sorry, Ma'am. We can't accept anything
larger than a fifty," he told me, pointing to
a sign stating store policy.

"But you just accepted that last girl's
hundred," I reasoned.

"I had to," he said. "It had her phone
number on it."
