I think I liked the hummingbird analogy the most.
The comments are great, too!
I will have to cut and paste these and send them to my daughter’s writing teacher…she’ll love them!

But as for the others, well, it’s always great to start my day with laughter.

Thank you for the great laugh.

A neighbor told the reporter how she discovered his plight:

“I looked up and seen this man stuck in the chimbley. He was crying like a mouse.”

Maybe I’m weird, but that cracked me up…the grammar the mental image…oh man. Priceless.

Frugal: to save
“Frugal me, frugal me! I’m drowning!”

Actually, I’ve used the top three jokes before, but the analogies are hilarious! Thanks Rachelle. OH, and FYI, once again your name came up in our WFTJ(TX) meeting. You typically do :-). Ears burnin’???

My 4-year-old son is usually a good source of giggles. A few months ago he came home bouncing off the walls with excitement. He proudly announced, “Mommy got me new underwear, and it glows in my pants!”
