Enjoyed your story and have admired your book in my local knitting store. Here’s a joke someone forwarded to me in a whole list of funny things kids say:

A first-grade teacher was reading the story “Chicken Little” to her students when she got to the part where Chicken Little goes up to Farmer Brown and exclaims “The Sky is Falling! The Sky is Falling!” The teacher paused and asked her students what they thought Farmer Brown would say back to Chicken Little. One young boy piped up and said “Holy sh*t! A talking chicken!”. The teacher was unable to continue reading….

Here is one for lent for you.

A young newlywed couple, also new to their Catholic neighborhood and church and eager to fit in, were meeting with the priest and discussing what they could give up for lent. It was an important congregation, and part of the rite of joining was demonstrating faithfulness and service.

It was a long meeting, and the priest felt they would truly show their faith best by giving up sex for lent. They agreed and decided to meet with with priest in one week.

As the week went on it became more and more difficult, until finally the young couple could not even stay in their home together. A chance accident left them undone and mortified. It was with much uncertainty that they met with the priest. “My children, how is it going?” “Well”, the husband cleared his throat, nervously,”we started out pretty well…and as the week went on it was so tempting, we couldn’t even stay in the same house. We were going to have dinner together one night, and she dropped the can of peas…it was all over from there…I am so sorry father, I..”

“I am sorry, my son, but we just cannot let you join. I hope you understand.”

“That’s okay”, he sighed. ” They won’t let us back at the Super-market either”.

Oh Terri, what great stories! I have what has become a pretty infamous knitting joke in my circle of friends. It’s more of a story, but it should do.

I was knitting lace while drinking on a friends patio. One of my male friends turns to me and says, “I can knit that you know”. I looked at him, smirking, and said, “You can’t even read the pattern.” Undaunted, he grabs it from my hand and starts reading. “Kay tew togg, kay tew togg, tibble, yo, tibble, yo, tibble, kay tew tog, tibble, yo, tibble, yo…” There was a pause, and then he threw in, “HOLLER!”

I was in stitches :)

okay, this is a really dumb joke, but it’s my favorite: why do seagulls live by the sea? Because if they lived by the bay they’d be BayGulls (get it, bagels?)!

I loved your post, your honesty…hope you are feeling cheerier!

Well, the first chorus of the song goes: “Take a chance, ’cause you might grow!” That’s the message. ;-)

Thanks for the mention.
