Dad rarely dresses up, so when he left the bedroom decked out in a suit and tie, he wanted to commemorate the moment.
Handing me his camera, he asked, “Mind taking a selfie of me?”
My three-year-old grandson sat in the bathroom with me, watching as I removed my dentures and brushed them.
After a few minutes, he asked, “Can you take your ears off too?”
My mother was away all weekend at a business conference. During a break, she decided to call home, collect.
My six-year-old brother picked up the phone and heard a stranger’s voice say, "We have a Marcia on the line. Will you accept the charges?"
Frantic, he dropped the receiver and came charging outside screaming, "Dad! They’ve got Mom! And they want money!"
To get my cousin to write to her even once, my aunt resorted to sending him a check with this note: “Do not cash until you write me a thank you.”
A few weeks later, the check had cleared, yet no message had arrived. So she called him. “I told you not to cash the check until you’d written to thank me,” she complained.
“I didn’t cash the check,” he said. “I deposited it.”
