Summer is winding down quickly. This is the week for all those last minute vacations before school starts next Tuesday. Be sure to watch for buses and children on the drive to work next week.

During the wedding rehearsal, the groom approached the vicar with an unusual offer. “Look, I’ll give you $100 if you’ll change the wedding vows. When you get to me and the part where I’m to promise to ‘love, honor and obey’ and ‘forsaking all others, be faithful to her forever,’ I’d appreciate it if you’d just leave that part out.”
He passed the clergyman the cash and walked away satisfied. The wedding day arrives, and the bride and groom have moved to that part of the ceremony where the vows are exchanged. When it comes time for the groom’s vows, the vicar looks the young man in the eye and says, “Will you promise to obey her every command and wish, serve her breakfast in bed every morning of your life, as long as you both shall live?”
The groom gulped and looked around, and said in a tiny voice, “Yes.”
The groom leaned toward the vicar and hissed, “I thought we had a deal.”
The vicar put the $100 into his hand and whispered back, “She made me a much better offer.”

I found my 10-year-old son reading a book titled “How to Bring Up Children Properly”.
So I asked, “Sweetie, why are you reading that? It’s for parents, so it’s for me to read, not for you to read.”
The son replied, “That’s why I am reading it, to find out whether you are bringing me up properly.”
