The friend inquired as to the reason for her worrying. She informed her friend that her mom was always fatigued from staying up all night long. Her friend asked, "What's she doing staying up all night? At her age, that's not good at all!" The beauty replied, "Waiting for me to come home." ________________________________________________ If you like the Humor Letter, please vote! ______________________________________________________ An elderly woman and her little grandson, whose face was sprinkled with bright freckles, spent the day at the zoo. Lots of children were waiting in line to get their cheeks painted by a local artist who was decorating them with tiger paws. "You've got so many freckles, there's no place to paint!" a girl in the line sneered to the little fella. Embarrassed, the little boy dropped his head. His grandmother knelt down next to him. "I love your freckles. When I was a little girl I always wanted freckles," she said, while tracing her finger across the child's cheek. "Freckles are beautiful." The boy looked up, "Really?" "Of course," said the grandmother. "Why just name me one thing that's prettier than freckles." The little boy thought for a moment, peered intensely into his grandma's face, and softly whispered, "Wrinkles." _____________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ After spending most of a day shopping with her grandson, purchasing gift after gift, the final stop on her checklist was to take the boy to see Santa in the mall's center court area. At the end of their visit, Santa gave the tyke a small gift. When he said nothing, grandma prodded him, "What do you say to Santa?" "Charge it," the boy replied, confidently. ______________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________ If you like the Humor Letter, please vote!

The 73-year-old was in possession of meth and took it to her doctor to get tested, according to police reports. She was concerned about the effect the drug would have on her. She also worried the drug would harm her, according to The Miami Herald. Authorities were called to the hospital, and when they spoke to her, she said she had been using the drug for a month, according to police reports. She also showed police a "small clear plastic baggie containing a white crystal-like substance," the report says. Ray also had an empty prescription bottle with her name written on the prescription label. Contents that were inside the baggie and the container tested positive for meth, the police report says. Ray was sent to the hospital for treatment before being taken into custody by police. She didn't overdose on the drug but appeared to be under the influence of it, according to the police report. Ray would eventually be released from jail two days after her doctor's visit. The Miami Herald reports it is unknown why Ray was smoking meth or where she received the drugs.

As a result their grandmother never received acknowledgments of the generous checks she had given. The next year things were different, however. "The children came over in person to thank me," the grandparent told a friend triumphantly. "How wonderful!" the friend exclaimed. "What do you think caused the change in behavior?" "Oh, that's easy," the grandmother replied. "This year I didn't sign the checks." ___________________________________________________ >from Linda Overheard on an elevator: Today, my girlfriend asked me if I could love anything more than her, and if so, what.

Near the cash register he saw a display of caps with "WWJD" printed on all of them. He was puzzled over what the letters could mean, but couldn't figure it out, so he asked the clerk. The clerk replied that the letters stood for "What Would Jesus Do", and was meant to inspire people to not make rash decisions, but rather to imagine what Jesus would do in the same situation. The man thought a moment and then replied, "Well, I'm pretty sure Jesus wouldn't pay $17.95 for one of these $3 caps."
