By JENNIE TANSALI

1.       THE TOY GOES TO....
                Tom had won a toy at a raffle. He called his kids together to ask which one should have the toy. "Who is the most obedient?" he asked. "Who never talks back to mother? Who does everything she says?" Five small voices answered in unison. "Okay, dad, you get the toy."

2.      NO. 1 ON OUR LIST - LITERALLY!
                  My father was completely lost in the kitchen and never ate unless someone prepared a meal for him. When mother was ill, however, he volunteered to go to the supermarket for her. She sent him off with a carefully numbered list of seven items. Dad returned shortly, very proud of himself, and proceeded to unpack the grocery bags. He had one bag of sugar, two dozen eggs, three hams, four boxes of detergent, five boxes of crackers, six eggplants, and seven green peppers.

3.      COME DOWN TO MY LEVEL
                    An illiterate woman boarded a plane from enugu to abuja in nigeria. She was booked for an economy class seat. Just after the plane took-off, the woman stood up and went to sit in the first class cabin. The flight attendant went to ask her to go back and sit in econmy class because that's where the ticket allowed her to sit but she refused. She had paid and wanted the best seat. Then the attendant informed the Jnr. pilot. The Jnr. pilot went and spoke with the lady and she still refused. Then the Jnr. pilot went to inform the chief pilot. The chief pilot said, I am married to an illiterate therefore i'll go and talk to her. The chief went and whispered some words to the woman and she peacefully stood up and went to her economy class seat. The attendant and Jnr. pilot surprisingly asked, sir what did you tell her? The chief pilot said: easy guys, i just told her that first class is not going to abuja, only economy class is.

4.        FAMILY TREE
                      A little girl asked her mother, "How did the human race appear?' The mother answered, 'God made Adam and Eve and they had children and so was all mankind made." Two days later the girl asked her father the same question. The father answered, "Many years ago there were monkeys from which the human race evolved." The confused girl returned to her mother and said, "Mom, how is it possible that you told me the human race was created by God, and Dad said they developed from monkeys?" The mother answered, "Well, dear, it's very simple. I told you about my side of the family and your father told you about his."

5.         I'M THIRSTY
                       A small boy is sent to bed by his father. Five minutes later......."Da-ad..." What? I'm thirsty. Can you bring a drink of water? No. You had your chance. Lights out. Five minutes later: "Da-aaaad....." WHAT? I'm THIRSTY. Can i have a drink of water?? Itold you NO!! If you ask again, i'll have to spank you!! Five minutes later....."Daaaa-aaaad......" WHAT!
