A small boy is sent to bed by his father. Five minutes later:
Da-ad..."
"What?"
"I'm thirsty. Can you bring me a drink of water?"
"No. You had your chance. Lights out."
Five minutes later: "Da-aaaad...I'm THIRSTY. Can I have a drink
of water??"
"I told you NO! If you ask again, I'll have to spank you!!"
Five minutes later... "Daaaa-aaaad..."
"WHAT??!!"
"When you come in to spank me, can you bring me a drink of water?"

***************************************
An exasperated mother, whose son was always getting into
mischief, finally asked him, "How do you expect to get into
Heaven?"
The boy thought it over and said, "Well, I'll just run in and
out and in and out and keep slamming the door until St. Peter says
'For
Heaven's sake, Jimmy, come in or stay out!'"

**************************************

One summer evening during a violent thunderstorm a mother was
tucking her small boy into bed. She was about to turn off the light
when
he asked with a tremor in his voice, "Mommy , will you sleep with me
tonight?" The mother smiled and gave him a reassuring hug. "I can't, dear," she

said "I have to sleep in Daddy's room." Little voice: "The big sissy."

**************************************

A mother took her three-year-old daughter to church for the first
time.
The church lights were lowered, and then the choir came down the
aisle,
carrying lighted candles. All was quiet until the little one started
to
sing in a loud voice, "Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to
you..."

*************************************

Finding one of her students making faces at others on the playground,
Ms.
Smith stopped to gently reprove the child. Smiling sweetly, the Sunday

School
teacher said, "Bobby, when I was a child I was told that if I made
ugly
faces, it would
freeze and I would stay like that." Bobby looked up and replied,
"Well, Ms
Smith, you can't say you weren't warned."

Karenluvs6, I'm going to go ahead and move this over to the Parenting section... I bet every parent in here is going to nod there head at a couple of these.

Oh my, the one about the little boy scared of the thunderstorms had me cracking up! I used to be terrified of them myself as a kid and remembering falling asleep outside my parents bedroom door numerous times! {toothy}

I liked the freezing face and a drink of water. Those are a riot.
