Cum Laude

"Cum Laude"

Both sides of our family turned out for my wife's
college graduation. After the dean finished
awarding all the diplomas, he requested,
"Will all the 'cum laudes' please stand up?"

My mother-in-law leaned over and whispered,
"Wow! The Cum Laude family sure has a lot of kids!"

"Of Bees and Flowers"

Donald Ogden Stewart, the writer, had a son away
at prep school. When the boy reached the age of
fourteen, Stewart wrote him the following letter:

"Dear son, now that you have reached the magic age
of fourteen, the time has come to tell you about the
bees and flowers. There is a male and a female bee,
although I haven't the slightest idea which is which.
As for the flowers - we get ours from the Plaza Florist, Inc.

Well, that takes care of that.

Write soon,
Affectionately,
Father
