Mother's Day

"Mother's Day"*

*Two children ordered their mother to stay in bed
one Mother's Day morning. As she lay there looking
forward to being brought breakfast in bed, the smell
of bacon floated up from the kitchen.

Finally, the children called her to come downstairs.
She found them both sitting at the table eating
bacon and eggs.

"As a surprise for Mothers's Day," one explained,
"we decided to cook our own breakfast."

"Are You Okay?"*

*During a test I was administering, I noticed that
one of my married students, who was quite
pregnant, kept rubbing her side.

Before she left, I asked her, "Are you okay?" I
noticed you were holding onto your side."

"Oh, I'm fine," she answered. "It's just that my
baby was pushing his foot up and down my ribs,
and it hurt a little."

"Well, that's good," I said, feeling genuinely relieved.

"Yeah," she continued. "It's strange. He normally
sleeps during your class."
