With all the cares and worries of this world, one thing stands clear n children can give us a good chuckle and change our outlook.

With several things pressing on my mind this week, I found I needed a lighter mood and found one with these. Hope it brightens your day too.

My wife told our 5-year-old to put on clean underwear everyday, and he did just as he was told. At the end of the week, he had on five pairs.

A little boy was taken to the dentist. It was discovered that he had a cavity that would have to be filled. &uot;Now, young man,&uot; asked the dentist, &uot;what kind of filling would you like for that tooth?&uot; &uot;Chocolate, please,&uot; replied the youngster.

A daughter’s fifth-grade class had been studying astronomy. One morning at breakfast she announced, &uot;On Friday we’re having a quiz on the moon.&uot; That’s when her little brother piped up, &uot;Are you gonna let her go, Mom?&uot;

A little girl asked her mother for a dollar to give to an old lady in the park. Her mother was touched by the child’s kindness, and gave her the required sum. &uot;There you are, my dear,&uot; said the mother. &uot;But, tell me, isn’t the lady able to work?&uot; &uot;Oh yes,&uot; came the reply. &uot;She sells candy.&uot;

A little boy was showings his family’s photo album to the baby sitter. He pointed out a nice picture of his whole family, and she complimented him on how handsome he looked. He shook his head and said, &uot; My mom doesn’t like it at all. She said she wants to have it blown up.&uot;

Catching her in the act, the grandmother confronted her 3-year-old granddaughter. &uot;Are you eating your little sister’s grapes?&uot; &uot;No,&uot; the 3-year-old innocently replied, &uot;I’m helping her share.&uot;
