An Eclipse

In a science class, the teacher asks her students what causes an eclipse. One student raises his hand and says, "It happens when the moon passes through the sun, causing an obstruction." "Very good observation," said the teacher, "any one else?" A young, blonde girl raises her hand and says, "Japan made this obstruction. They made this eclipse, which my dad drives everyday going to work," she quipped.

Where Do You Live?

A colleague was relating a conversation he had with his young daughter, just a bit over 2 years old. They were discussing geography and...   "Where does mommy live?" "Minneapolis." "Where does grandma live?" "Baltimore." "Where does grandpa live?" "Baltimore." "And where does daddy live?" "At work!" Needless to say, he took the morning off that next day.

Daddy, Where Did I Come From?

"Daddy, where did I come from?" seven-year-old Rachel asks. It is a moment for which her parents have carefully prepared. They take her into the living room, get out several other books, and explain all they think she should know about sexual attraction, affection, love, and reproduction. Then they both sit back and smile contentedly. "Does that answer your question?" the mom asks. "Not really," the little girl says. "Judy said she came from Detroit. I just wanted to know where I came from."
