10 Do You know Who I Am?



Do You Know Who I Am?



There was a part being held to celebrate somebody's birthday.  Most of the children attending the party knew everybody else but there were a few from older classes also attending.  A young lad ended up in conversation with a girl he had never spoken to before. being a bit out of his depth talking to girls he thought he would make comment about school. "Isn't the head teacher a bit of a twit?" he said to the girl.

"Do you know who I am?" inquired the girl.

"No," replied the boy.

"I am the head teacher’s daughter," replied the girl.

"And do you know who I am?" asked the boy.

"No, " she uttered.

"Well that is good," said the boy and strode off with a sigh of relief.

I know this is true because I happened to be the boy. This was the first time I learned a very valuable lesson, always engage the brain before engaging the mouth.

24 How Many Friends?

How Many Friends? A student came to a teacher and asked him, “Master, how many friends should a person have, one or a lot?” “Everything is very simple,” the teacher answered, “pick me that red apple from the highest branch.” The student looked up and answered, “But it’s too high, Teacher! I can’t reach it.” “Ask a friend, maybe he will help you,” Master answered. The student called another student and stood on his shoulders. “I still can’t reach it, Teacher,” said the disappointed student. “Don’t you have more friends?” the teacher smiled. The student asked more friends who started standing up on each other’s shoulders and backs grunting, trying to build a live pyramid. But the apple was too high, the pyramid crumbled, and the student wasn’t able to pick the longed for apple. Then the teacher called him back. “So, did you understand how many friends a person needs?” “I did, Teacher,” the student said, rubbing the injured sides, “A lot, so together we c...

A Penny for your Thoughts A young Scottish lad and lass were sitting on a low stone wall, holding hands, gazing out over the loch. For several minutes they sat silently. Then finally the girl looked at the boy and said, "A penny for your thoughts, Angus." "Well, uh, I was thinking.  Perhaps it's aboot time for a wee kiss." The girl blushed, then leaned over and kissed him lightly on the cheek. Then he blushed. The two turned once again to gaze out over the loch. Minutes passed and the girl spoke again.

29 You Want to be a Butterfly?

You Want to be a Butterfly? I remember one day out walking. it was before I had my apple watch and I was wearing this little watch, not a costly thing at all, the strap was made of rubber. It was good when running, and walking light in weight and not accurate enough to have me trying to push to beat a deadline. It did not have any numerals on its face. It had a dot at the place where the 12 should be and that is it. So most of my times end with an “ish”. This day I went walking and was enjoying stravaiging along in no particular hurry. Twice I remember glancing at this watch and thinking, “I can have a bit longer sitting here.”  When I headed back home, I was surprised to see the clock on the church tower. It was telling me a time I most certainly had not expected. I looked at my little watch, I had it on upside down. Twice in the course of yesterday, I heard somebody complaining about his or her life. How long and boring the day was and every day was the sa...
