My wife and I had just finished tucking our five young ones into bed one evening when we heard sobbing coming from three- year-old Billy's room. Rushing to his side, we found him crying hysterically. He had accidentally swallowed a penny and was sure he was going to die. No amount of talking could change his mind. Desperate to calm him, my wife palmed a penny that she happened to have in her pocket and pretended to pull it from Billy's ear. Billy was delighted. In a flash, he snatched it from my wife's hand, swallowed it and demanded cheerfully, "Do it again, mum!"

According to a radio report, a middle school in Oregon was faced with a unique problem. A number of girls were beginning to use lipstick and would put it on in the bathroom. That was fine, but after they put on their lipstick they would press their lips to the mirror leaving dozens of little lip prints. Finally the principal decided that something had to be done. She called all the girls to the bathroom and met them there with the custodian. She explained that all these lip prints were causing a major problem for the custodian who had to clean the mirrors every day. To demonstrate how difficult it was to clean the mirrors, she asked the custodian to clean one of the mirrors. He took out a long-handled squeegee, dipped it into the toilet and then cleaned the mirror. Since then there have been no lip prints on the mirror.

At a book fair which I attended last week, I noticed that there were many of my favorite books missing. I went up to the lady selling classics and said, "What have you done with the medieval novels? Where's Ivanhoe?" Without missing a beat, she answered, "It's been banned from the fair! There's too much Saxon violence!"
