Bottle Caps and Smiles

7 year-old Jerrie has a query...

Jerrie: Why do adults have to smile when they open new bottle caps?

Mum: What do you mean, why do they need to smile?

Jerrie: Ah, you adults do this, eerrr.... (showing a face all squeezed up, with gritting teeth while trying to open the bottle cap.)

Children and Bad People

Mum: Jackie, you cannot simply buy everything you see and want.

Jackie: Yes, mum, we cannot waste money.

Mum: That’s right! What happens if you spent all the money?

Jackie: You’ll become children.

------------------------------------------

Mum: Jackie, don’t you anyhow run, stay close to me.

Jackie: why?

Mum: You know there are bad people around, what if they take you away!

Jackie: I’ll have to stay in the jail?

Lizards

Jackie: Mum, I don’t like those lizards in the bathroom...

Mum: Oh, why?

Jackie: They are not nice!

Mum: What do you mean, why do you think they are not nice?

Jackie: They don’t have long hair.


-------------------

Jackie: Mum, lizards don’t use toilet paper after pooing, correct?

Mum: Yup...

Jackie: I know why lizards don't use toilet paper.

Mum: Oh, you do, tell me why.

Jackie: Because, they don’t have hands.
