Our two grandchildren live in the country and their neighbour asked if they would like a lamb each for a pet. Miss Ten said she would love one. But when Master Seven was asked, he thought for a minute and then replied, “No – I’m not ready to be a parent yet.”

DIVINE LINES

I was chatting with a friend about the wrinkles on our faces. My five-year-old granddaughter was listening in and piped up with, “I know the oldest person in the world – it’s God and he is the wrinkliest!”

AGE DIFFERENCE

My four-year-old great-granddaughter asked me how old I was and I replied, “I’m 70.” She then asked how old Pop was and I said, “He’s 80.” She said, “Ah well, that would make Mum 60.” Her mother is 22.

THIS 'N' THAT

My sister bought three exotic birds named This, That and Other. When This died, he was buried next to Other. When That died a few months later, my sister remarked, “I guess that’s That then!”
