** An old man calls his son and says, “Listen, your mother and I are getting divorced. Forty-five years of misery is enough.” “Dad, what are you talking about?” the son screams. “We can’t stand the sight of each other any longer,” he says. “I’m sick of her face, and I’m sick of talking about this, so call your sister and tell her,” and he hangs up..
Now, the son is worried. He calls his sister. She says, “No way are they getting divorced!” She calls their father immediately. “You’re not getting divorced! Don’t do another thing! The two of us are flying home tomorrow to talk about this. Until then, do not call a lawyer, and do not file a single paper! DO YOU HEAR ME?!” She hangs up the phone.
The old man turns to his wife and says, “Okay, they’re both coming for Christmas, and they are paying their own airfares!”

** I was walking with my 5 year old daughter. She picked something up off the ground and started to put it in her mouth. I took the thing away from her and asked her not to do that. “Why?” she asked. “Because it’s been on the ground, and you don’t know where it’s been. It’s dirty. And it probably has germs.” At this point, my daughter looked at me with absolute admiration and asked, “Mom, how do you know all this stuff? You are so smart.” I thought quickly and replied, “All moms know this stuff. It’s on the Mom Test. You have to know it, or they don’t let you be a Mom.” We walked along in silence for two or three minutes, but she was evidently pondering this new information.
“Oh, I get it!” she beamed, “So if you don’t pass the test, you have to be the dad!” “Exactly,” I said.
