Little Anne came running into the house after school one day, shouting:
“Daddy! Daddy! I got 100 in school today!”
“That’s great sweetheart,” said her daddy.
“Come in to the living room and tell me about it.” daddy continued.
Little Anne:“Well,” began the confession, “I got 50 in spelling, 30 in math and 20 in science.”
One day two girls were trying out for the school cheerleading squad. One was a blonde and the other was a brunette.
After they both had tryouts, they went home to wait until the results were posted.
The blonde went to see if she had made it that night.
Once she found out she had made it, she got out her cell phone and called the brunette, but she didn’t answer, so the blonde just went back home.
The next day the brunette called the blonde to see if she wanted to go with her to look at their scores.
The blonde agrees and meets the brunette at the school.
The brunette beats the blonde to the school, so she goes ahead and looks at the scores to find out they both had made it.
When the blonde gets there, she finds her name on the list again. Then she says, “Yes! I made it again, I made it last night and I made it again today. I am on a roll!”
A young girl who was writing a paper for school came to her father and asked,
“Dad, what is the difference between anger and exasperation?”
The father replied, “It is mostly a matter of degree. Let me show you what I mean.”
With that the father went to the telephone and dialed a number at random. To the man who answered the phone, he said, “Hello, is Melvin there?”
The man answered, “There is no one living here named Melvin. Why don’t you learn to look up numbers before you dial?”
“See,” said the father to his daughter. “That man was not a bit happy with our call. He was probably very busy with something and we annoyed him. Now watch…”
The father dialed the number again. “Hello, is Melvin there?” asked the father.
“Now look here!” came the heated reply. “You just called this number and I told you that there is no Melvin here. You’ve got lot of guts calling again!” The receiver slammed down hard.
The father turned to his daughter and said, “You see, that was anger. Now I’ll show you what exasperation means.”
He dialed the same number, and a violent voice roared, “Hello!”
The father calmly said, “Hello, this is Melvin! Have there been any calls for me?”
