A teacher wanted to teach her students about self-esteem, so she asked anyone who thought they were stupid to stand up. One kid stood up and the teacher was surprised. She didn’t think anyone would stand up so she asked him, “Why did you stand up?” He answered, “I didn’t want to leave you standing up by yourself.”

After 10 years a wife started to think that their child looked a little strange, so she had a DNA test done and found out that the child was not theirs. She told her husband what she had found out. The husband replied, *You don’t remember, do you? When we were leaving the hospital and the baby pooped himself, you told me to go change him. So, I went inside and got a clean one and left the dirty one there. * The wife fainted.
