Hi Myrna,

You've just got to love the Honesty of those little ones don't you, kind of like this little girl struggling with the questions of Evolution and s smart-aleck Teacher...

One day a 6 year old girl was sitting in the classroom. The teacher was going to explain evolution to the children. The teacher asked a little boy: Teacher: Tommy do you see the tree out side? Tommy: Yes. Teacher: Tommy, do you see the grass out side? Tommy: Yes. Teacher: Go out side and look up and see if you can see the sky. Tommy: OK. (He returned a few minutes later) Yes, I saw the sky. Teacher: Did you see God? Tommy: No. Teacher: That's my point. We can't see God because he isn't there. The little girl spoke up and wanted to ask the boy some questions. Teacher agreed and she asked the boy: Little Girl: Tommy, do you see the tree outside? Tommy: Yes. Little girl: Tommy do you see the grass outside? Tommy: Yessssss (getting tired of the questions by this time) Little girl: Did you see the sky? Tommy: Yessssss Little Girl: Tommy, do you see the teacher? Tommy: Yes Little Girl: Do you see her brain? Tommy: No Little Girl: Does that mean she doesn't have one?

Be Blessed My Friend,

Phil

Hi Phil, Hi Myrna, Hi to all other friends!

thanks for your nice words about me. Yesterday I struggled with my PC - may be wanted me to do s.th. else? :-)

So today everything is working well and here a little story from Europe which came into my mind reading your threads.


The teachers explains the difference between concret and abstract. In the end he asked the students to give an example for both of the words.

Little Fritz lifted his arm and the teacher called him. Fine, let's hear your example:

Mr. Teacher, I have an example, my pants are concrete and yours are abstract.


Two cops are sitting in a FIAT UNO (= 1). Passed a Renault R4 with inside 5 persons. Said one cop to the other:

Hey, this is an R4 with 5 pax - this isn't allowed. We have to stop and to fine them.

Oh, said the other, be quiet we are in 2 in a Fiat Uno.

A wonderful day to all of you with lots of sunshine

Hi Rieke,

Loved the funny story. A Smile not only lights up a room, it somehow always makes the day go much better. Thanks my Friend.

Since you started out as a German Language Teacher in Italy, I thought that you might apprciate this little Humorous take on our English language...

How can I intimate this to my most intimate friend?

I spent last evening evening out a pile of dirt.
