Ok this is a good one. My husband has sleep apnea, and sleeps with a machine for it. Well he also has another problem, unrelated to this LOL, but somehow our grandaughter tied the two problems together. Ok, sometimes his denture flaps in the breeze! LOL So our grandaughter, who hasnt been told yet about false teeth, was visiting. Grandpa was sitting on the couch watching tv, and he started to fall asleep, and he started snoring, and yup, his teeth started flapping in the breeze! LOL LOL Elisa runs over and shakes grandpa and yells, grandpa grandpa wake up! Put your machine one so you don't lose your teeth!!!!! LOL LOL LOL She thought that was what the machine was for LOL

One of my boys (that I used to think was at least halfway smart, but I've revised that opinion for several reasons now) apparently thought that as long as you still had checks in the checkbook you still had money in the bank!

When my daughter was very young she thought there was a little man in the fridge who shut off the light . One day upon checking it out, she got her nose caught in the door. We still laugh about it and she is 53 years old.

I also thought that if someone said "I'll call you for lunch" or something like that, that people actually mean it. I mean it but I've found others don't.

When my youngest daughter was little, she had cut most
of her hair off when I wasn't looking. After she stopped
crying after I scolded her, I told her that her hair would
grow out like her daddy's. She thought about that a minute,
then burst out crying. Said that she didn't want a hole on
her head like his!!
He was going bald up on top!! Took me a long time to
explain about men and women's hair growth patterns.
