There are plently of jokes around today but, sadly, the mechanic was being serious when he said my brakes on the car would cost £180 rather than the anticipated £60 – what a truly spiffing start to the weekend …. not!!

While feeling sorry for myself and grumbling away about the unfairness of God and the greed of car mechanics I fell upon Dave’s post for today which had be laughing hysterically in some places. He has posted a series of real life funnies, my favourite being:

Have you ever asked your child a question too many times? My three-year-old son had a lot of problems with potty training and I was on him constantly. One day we stopped at Taco Bell for a quick lunch in between errands. It was very busy, with a full dining room. While enjoying my taco I smelled something funny, so of course I checked my seven-month-old daughter, and she was clean. Then I realized that 3 year old Danny hadn’t asked to go potty in a while, so I asked him if he needed to go, and he said: No.” I kept thinking, “Oh Lord, that child has had an accident, and I don’t have any clothes with me.” Then I said, “Danny, are you SURE you didn’t have an accident?” “No,” he replied. I just KNEW that he must have had an accident, because the smell was getting worse. Soooooo, I asked one more time, “Danny, did you have an accident?” This time he jumped up, yanked down his pants, bent over and spread his cheeks and yelled. “SEE MOM, ITS JUST FARTS!!” While 30 people nearly choked to death on their tacos laughing, he calmly pulled up his pants and sat down. An old couple made me feel better by thanking me for the best laugh they’d ever had!

If you know Joseph, my youngest, you will understand why I relate to this so well!

Have a good evening – and give all your money to Comic Relief, they need it more than you do!
