A two fer!

A father was buying bass lessons for his son.
The 1st week the father asked him what he had learned
The son said "On my 1st lesson we learned about the E string"
The 2nd week came and after the lesson the father asked what had he learned that week
The son said "On my 2nd lesson I learned about the A string"
3rd week came by and the father said to his son "You know these are expensive lessons what have you learned this week"
The son said "I quit the lessons I already got a gig"

A: None. They hold the bulb over their head and the world revolves around them.

I used to laugh at people who rode around on their lawn tractors with a little kid on their lap. Today I did just that with my grandson aboard, and I will never laugh at them again.

He loved it and sat contently on my lap as I drove him up and down the sidewalk. He didn't want to stop!

  Something is magical about kids.  Everything is new, a butterfly, a worm, clouds, lawn tractors.  Everything new.

  With us, been there, done that, boring.  Nothing seem new.  Sure would be wonderful to be a kid for a while.   :biggrin:

I still am.

I play with my big boy toys, but I spend a great deal of time in woodlands and grasslands -- sometimes just for the hell of it.
Ignorance and fanaticism are ravenous. They require constant feeding.

My Grands are great!  I only have two, but today they were here early in the morning.  I say to Grandson, "you are my favorite grandson"  He smiles and sister says, "but i am your favorite grandchild"...It is hard when they are smarter than me.

Mine are almost all grown, still have a ten year old, but he lives with his mother and we don't see him much. The others are all teenagers, or older. Sure do miss those little kid hugs and conversations.

None, yet, but I am anxiously awaiting that day.  But, it may be a few more years yet.  My oldest is in no hurry to settle down.

My new husband has bunches too.  My boys are all so busy with careers, and their spouses that they havent blessed me yet..maybe tho. Daughter has had both of my very own.  His grands are much older, and some younger, and live far so we havent really bonded yet.  I cant imagine a 15 year old calling me grandma...would just be weird.
