Housecleaning

I was tidying up the house but finding the task difficult because of a pulled muscle in my lower back.

As I was collecting the trash, something fell to the floor. Taking a deep breath and trying to ignore the pain, I stooped to retrieve the item.

I couldn't help laughing when I realized it was an envelope marked "Do Not Bend." (anonymous)



One woman reports: "When we put our house up for sale, I stressed emphatically that my sons make their beds each morning. I left for work before they left for school, and I wanted to be sure that the house looked presentable when the agent showed it to prospective buyers.

I was surprised and impressed that my 15-year-old son's bed was perfectly made each day. One night when I went into his room, I discovered his secret.

He was fast asleep on the floor in his sleeping bag. "
