Should Children Witness Childbirth?


Due to a power outage, only one paramedic responded to the call.

The house was very, very dark, so the paramedic asked Kathleen, a 3-year-old girl, to hold the light high over her mommy so he could see while he helped deliver the baby. Very diligently Kathleen did as she was asked. Her mother Heidi pushed and pushed, and after a little while Connor was born.

The paramedic lifted him by his little feet and spanked him on his bottom. Connor began to cry.

The paramedic then thanked Kathleen for her help and asked the wide-eyed 3-year-old what she thought about what she had just witnessed.

Kathleen quickly responded, "He shouldn't have crawled in there in the first place. Smack his ass again." [Big Grin]

For all of you with kids in your life.


JACK (age 3) was watching his Mom breast-feeding his new baby sister. After a while he asked:"Mom why have you got two? Is one for hot and one for cold milk?"

MELANIE (age 5) asked her Granny how old she was. Granny replied she was so old she didn't remember any more. Melanie said, "If you don't remember you must look in the back of your panties. Mine say five to six."

STEVEN (age 3) hugged and kissed his Mom goodnight. "I love you so much,that when you die I'm going to bury you outside my bedroom window."

BRITTANY (age 4) had an earache and wanted a painkiller. She tried in vain to take the lid off the bottle. Seeing her frustration, her Mom explained it was a childproof cap and she'd have to open it for her. Eyes wide with wonder, the little girl asked: "How does it know it's me?

SUSAN (age 4) was drinking juice when she got the hiccups. "Please don't give me this juice again," she said, "It makes my teeth cough."

D I (age 4) stepped onto the bathroom scale and asked: "How much do I cost?"

MARC (age 4) was engrossed in a young couple that were hugging and kissing in a restaurant. Without taking his eyes off them, he asked his dad: "Why is he whispering in her mouth?"

CLINTON (age 5) was in his bedroom looking worried. When his Mom asked what was troubling him, he replied, "I don't know what'll happen with this bed when I get married. How will my wife fit in?"

JAMES (age 4) was listening to a Bible story. His dad read: "The man named Lot was warned to take his wife and flee out of the city but his wife looked back and was turned to salt." Concerned, James asked: "What happened to the flea?"

TAMMY (age 4) was with her mother when they met an elderly, rather wrinkled woman her Mom knew. Tammy looked at her for awhile and then asked, "Why doesn't your skin fit your face?

The Sermon I think this Mom will never forget....this particular Sunday sermon..."Dear Lord," the minister began, with arms extended toward heaven and a rapturous look on his upturned face."Without you, we are but dust." He would have continued but at that moment my very obedient daughter (who
was listening!) leaned over to me and asked quite audibly in her shrill little girl voice,"Mom,what is butt dust?" [Big Grin]

Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which

produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little, which made him rather frail and with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath.

A Dictionary of Lesser-Known Theatre Organ Stops:

8' Dullciana - Only played to put the audience to sleep. Often played with the 16' Boredom.  

8' Stopped-up Flute - Keep the Roto-Rooter man on call if you have one of these in the organ.
 
8' Roarflute - The loudest flute stop in the organ.

4' Krummpet - Cross between a Krummhorn and a Trumpet. Mainly used to accompany Tea Dances.

16' Bombardment - Large caliber pedal stop. It is wise to buy only the smokeless powder version of this stop. Its biggest disadvantage is the necessity to reload in the middle of long bass passages.

32' Counter Bombardment - A really macho complement to the 16' Bombardment. Place these two on opposite sides of the organ and watch the fireworks! Not recommended for buildings constructed of un-reinforced masonry.

4' AcetylSalicet - Played to offset the headache generated by playing the 16' Bombardment and the 32' Counter Bombardment.

16' Proctophone - Extremely loud and rude pedal stop. Useful with the 4' Flatulence.

16' Baboon - Reed stop of African origin. Smells mildly of bananas.

8' Salacious - Belongs in the X-Rated division of the organ along with the Sexaphone, the HotBois, and the Gemshorny.

4' Gambino - A short Italian version of the Gamba. When this stop speaks, you listen - if you know what's good for you.

8' Violent Diapason - Makes a good match with the 4' Gambino to accompany gangster films.  

4' Spits Flute - A raincoat is recommended when playing this one. Isolate this stop to keep it from warping the wooden pipes.  

8' ViDeO - One of the few really new organ stops. Requires cable or satellite connection.

8' Trumped up - Not a real organ stop at all. Invented by an unscrupulous organ salesman to make the stop tabs symmetrical.

8' Hobo - Shabby and poorly made stop. Grateful for any spare change the tuner might have.

Zinfandel IV - Made from old wine bottles. More colorful than the Chardonnay IV.

8' Geiger Diapason - Made of (almost) depleted Uranium. Easy to find because it glows in the dark. When tuning this stop, it is wise to don your lead-lined underwear.

6 7/8' Genetic Mutation - A stop which spontaneously appeared next to the 8' Geiger Diapason.  

2 2/3' Lizard - Keep this away from the 8' Geiger Diapason. Might mutate into a 10 2/3 Godzilla.  

Plain Joe Mixture - Made from old Folgers coffee cans. None of this Espresso or Latte stuff.

8' Vox Inhumana - A short stubby reed which is nearly impossible to keep in tune.
 
1 1/3' Lariat - Originally developed in Texas to accompany Western films.
 
5 1/3' Quint Eastwood - Another part of the Western division of the organ alongside the Lariat
