At Grandmas
Two young boys were spending the night at their grandparents. At bedtime， the two boys knelt beside their beds to say their prayers when the youngest one began praying at the top of his lungs.
“I PRAY FOR A NEW BICYCLE...
I PRAY FOR A NEW NINTENDO...
I PRAY FOR A NEW VCR...”
His older brother leaned over and nudged the younger brother and said， “Why are you shouting your prayers？ God isnt deaf.” To which the little brother replied， “No， but Gramma is！”
The Lost Purse
A lady lost her handbag in the bustle（熙攘） of Christmas shopping. It was found by an honest little boy and returned to her. Looking in her purse， she commented， “Hmmm... Thats funny. When I lost my bag there was a $20 bill in it. Now there are twenty $1 bills.”
The boy quickly replied， “Thats right， lady. The last time I found a ladys purse， she didnt have any change for a reward.”
What Else？
While working as a mall Santa， I had many children ask for electric trains. “If you get a train，” I would tell each one， “you know your dad is going to want to play with it too. Is that okay？”
The usual answer was a quick yes， but after I asked one boy this question， he became very quiet. Trying to move the conversation along， I asked what else he would like Santa to bring him.
He promptly replied， “Another train.”
The Christmas Hobby Horse
A grandfather bought a hobby horse by mail order as a Christmas present for his granddaughter.
The toy arrived in 189 pieces.
The instructions said that it could be put together in an hour.
It took the old man two days to assemble the toy.
Finally， when it was all put together， he wrote a check， cut it into 189 pieces and mailed it off to the company.
