A special message from YENDOR

Ok, I know this is the humor category, but I don't feel like being funny.

T-Net has lost Cheryl/SGH. Although I didn't 'know' her as well as some did, I am sitting here wiping tears after reading about her passing.

I know by the time that this column posts that a couple of weeks will have gone by, but she will still be in our memories.

For this month.......think of ten ways to show and tell people you love them. Do it for Cheryl.

Some days you just can't be funny.

One day a child at my four-year-old's Sunday school class told her classmates that she needed a 'damp towel.' Some of the other kids thought she said a naughty word and told on her.

The teacher stepped in to explain, "If your mommy asked you to bring her a damp towel, what does she want?"

A little girl blurted out, "She means she wants that towel right now!"

Innocence Is Priceless

One Sunday morning, the pastor noticed little Alex standing in the foyer of the church staring up at a large plaque. It was covered with names and small American flags mounted on either side of it. The six-year old had been staring at the plaque for some time, so the pastor walked up, stood beside the little boy, and said quietly, “Good morning Alex.”

“Good morning Pastor,” he replied, still focused on the plaque. “Pastor, what is this?”

The pastor said, “Well son, it's a memorial to all the young men and women who died in the service.”

Soberly, they just stood together, staring at the large plaque. Finally, little Alex's voice, barely audible and trembling with fear asked,

“Which service, the 8:30 or the 10:30?”

After preschool today, one of the other parents commented that the kids would be going to Kindergarten in the fall. My daughter's reply

"Yep! I'm going to be in K next year. And the year after that, I'm going to be in L!"
