Three Wise Men

In a small Southern town, there was a "Nativity Scene" that showed great skill and talent had gone into creating it. One small feature bothered me. The three wise men were wearing firemen's helmets.

Totally unable to come up with a reason or explanation, I left. At a "Quik Stop" on the edge of town, I asked the lady behind the counter about the helmets. She looked at me like I was dumber than dirt and said, "You darn Yankees never do read the Bible!"

I assured her that I did but simply couldn't recall anything about firemen in the Bible. She jerked her Bible from behind the counter and ruffled through some pages and finally jabbed her finger at a passage. Sticking it in my face she said, "See, it says right here, 'The three wise men came from afar.'

Desperate Times

 by Kay Heitsch 

Yesterday we took a little road trip. On our way, we stopped at a rest area and I ran in to use the bathroom.

As I was walking into the building there were two ladies walking ahead of me. When we approached the women's restroom there was a sign that read, "Restroom closed for cleaning."

One lady looked at the other and announced, "If we can't find another women's restroom I'm going to identify as a man today." The other lady quickly agreed to do the same. I started to laugh but I was desperate and I chimed in, "Hey, I'm right behind ya!"

I love people and I meet some of the funniest strangers. Desperate times call for desperate matters. I'm happy to report we didn't need to identify as men yesterday.

Bra

by Kay Heitsch
We were visiting our Grandkids when little Noah came into the bedroom while I was getting dressed. I was putting on my bra when he asked, "Why you putting that on?" I answered, "Doesn't your Mom wear a bra?" Noah frowned then replied, "Yeah, but why do you?"

"Difficult Custom"

 by Kay Heitsch

Are you ready for a laugh? I baked some Grandma Z. cookies for the guy who was doing some work here today. When he left he hugged me and thanked me for the cookies. Then he added that he would be telling the company he worked for that I was a "difficult customer" and he should be the only man to come out and work. He said that way he'd get more cookies. 

Binky

by Kay Heitsch

I was showing our grandson Eli (5) some old pictures on my phone. There were several pictures where he and Noah both had a "Binky" in their mouths.

I had to smile when Eli told me what a Binky was. Eli explained that "Binkies are plugs for babies so they don't talk."

Good Deed

by Kay Heitsch

Yesterday while I was out shopping with Bea (88) she was tired and wanted to sit down at Meijers. So she sat down in a chair where you can have a snack.

While waiting for Bea to catch her breath I noticed a guy come in with 2 carts full of bottles. He was having quite a time so I asked if I could help. He smiled and answered, "If you don't mind." I took one of the carts which was quite heavy. I figured most were glass bottles.

We walked to the bottle return room and he asked, "Well, are you paid by the hour or by salary?" I laughed! I told him, "Neither, I'm wearing a pedometer and trying to get some extra steps in."

There ya go, I did a good deed and was repaid with extra steps. LOL! Vivofit # 19,018 ~

Super Bowl Memory

by Kay Heitsch

Back in 1985 we were having a Super Bowl party at our home. Bill had invited some of the people who worked for him to the party. I was 7 months pregnant at that time.

At the end of the evening one of the men walked up to me. He wasn't exactly drunk, but he had been drinking and asked, "When are you due OR are you just fat?"

I have to say that this might be one of the top 10 things you should NOT ask the boss's wife when you're invited to a party.
