[lace-chat] 7 Reasons not to mess with children

7 reasons not to mess with children.

 A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales.

 The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a
 human because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was
 very small.

 The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale.

 Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a
 human; it was physically impossible.

 The little girl said, When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah.

 The teacher asked, What if Jonah went to hell?

 The little girl replied, Then you ask him.



 A Kindergarten teacher was observing her classroom of children while
 they were drawing. She would occasionally walk around to see each
 child's work.

 As she got to one little girl who was working diligently, she asked
 what the drawing was.

 The girl replied, I'm drawing God.

 The teacher paused and said, But no one knows what God looks like.

 Without missing a beat, or looking up from her drawing, the girl
 replied, They will in a minute.



 A Sunday school teacher was discussing the Ten Commandments with her
 five and six year olds.

 After explaining the commandment to honor thy Father and thy Mother,
 she asked, Is there a commandment that teaches us how to treat our
 brothers and sisters?

 Without missing a beat one little boy (the oldest of a family)
 answered, Thou shall not kill.



 One day a little girl was sitting and watching her mother do the
 dishes

 at the kitchen sink. She suddenly noticed that her mother had several
 strands of white hair sticking out in contrast on her brunette head.

 She looked at her mother and inquisitively asked, Why are some of
 your hairs white, Mom?

 Her mother replied, Well, every time that you do something wrong and
 make me cry or unhappy, one of my hairs turns white.

 The little girl thought about this revelation for a while and then
 said, Momma, how come ALL of grandma's hairs are white?



 The children had all been photographed, and the teacher was trying to
 persuade them each to buy a copy of the group picture.

 Just think how nice it will be to look at it when you are all grown
 up

 and say, 'There's Jennifer, she's a lawyer,' or 'That's  Michael, He's
 a doctor.'

 A small voice at the back of the room rang out, And there's the
 teacher, she's dead.



 A teacher was giving a lesson on the circulation of the blood. Trying
 to make the matter clearer, she said, Now, class, if I stood on my
 head, the blood, as you know, would run into it, and I would turn red
 in the face.

 Yes, the class said.

 Then why is it that while I am standing upright in the ordinary
 position the blood doesn't run into my feet?

 A little fellow shouted,
 Cause your feet ain't empty.



 The children were lined up in the cafeteria of a Catholic elementary
 school for lunch. At the head of the table was a large pile of apples.
 The nun made a note, and posted on the apple tray:

 Take only ONE. God is watching.

 Moving further along the lunch line, at the other end of the table was
 a large pile of chocolate chip cookies.

 A child had written a note, Take all you want. God is watching the
 apples.

 It doesn't matter how many people you send this to, just remember if
 it made you laugh, your friends will laugh too

Hi All Spiders,

I have been in the local market town today, and on a whim, went into one of
the few wet fish shops we have left.   I asked if they ever sold lobsters,
and they said they did occasionally, to which I asked if they ever had
lobster claws for sale.They looked quite perplexed, but suggested that,
if the claw was the only part of the creature I wanted, why didn't I ask a
local restaurant!

Maybe this is the way to go if one wants an afficot!I haven't yet tried,
but may well .

 I just received my Nordic Needle catalog. (This is a needle workers supply
 company that ships world wide-for those not in the USA).  And it seems to
have
 a tatting shuttle that appears to be what Tamara was talking about.  It is
 item #7292A in the catalog -I haven't checked the web site,
 www.nordicneedle.comhttp://www.nordicneedle.com/
 There is a fine point on one end and a more oval one on the other.  3
long in
 metallicized plastic.
 It appears to me that it could be used as an aficot.

Hi Spiders All,

We have really enjoyed some stormy weather! My husband and I live just
about 25 miles from Felixstowe, the largest container port in the UK, so
decided to trundle off to watch the sea and waves at a viewing point we
regularly go to.The sea was as angry as we've seen it for some time, but
there were no boats entering or leaving the port, so the container ships
must have been 'stacked up' somewhere outside Felixstowe.

But - when we came to go home, it took us three hours and ten minutes to
come the 25 miles home! The Orwell Bridge, which sort of bypasses
Ipswich on the A14, was closed to traffic, so Ipswich more-or-less came to a
standstill as everything which would normally use the road over the bridge
had to divert through the centre of Ipswich.A slow and grim end to a
most enjoyable day out!

We're supposed to go to my parents in Norfolk on Monday, so we are hoping
that the weather improves slightly, although the happy little people on the
TV weather forecasts are forecasting snow in the east of England .
