| Eighteen Children Two gentlemen were
discussing the prospects of "looming" retirement. While one guy had lots of hobbies,
the other fellow had no hobbies, and was rather concerned about being set loose
with nothing to do. The first guy suggested his friend go visit his kids.
The man said, "Well, I only have two kids, but I could buy a motor home and go
visit my brothers and sisters, that would take about a year." The first
guy looked a bit puzzled, so his friend said, "I'm one of eighteen kids in my
family." The first fellow's eyes got rather large, contemplating eighteen
children, so the man volunteered to explain. "The problem was, my mother
was hard of hearing." With a big grin he added, "My mom and dad would go to bed
at night, and my dad would ask, 'Do you want to go to sleep, or what?' and my
mom would say, 'What?'" |
