A boy was taking care of his baby sister while his
parents went to town shopping. He decided to go fishing and he had to take her
along.
"I'll never do that again!" he told his mother
that evening. "I didn't catch a thing!"
"Oh, next time I'm sure she'll be quiet and not
scare the fish away," his mother said.
The boy said, "It wasn't that. She ate all the
bait."

We purchased an old home in Northern New York State from
two elderly sisters. Winter was fast approaching and I was concerned about the
house's lack of insulation. "If they could live here all those years, so
can we!" my husband confidently declared.
One November night the temperature plunged to below zero,
and we woke up to find interior walls covered with frost. My husband called the
sisters to ask how they had kept the house warm.
After a rather brief conversation, he hung up. "For
the past 30 years," he muttered, "they've gone to Florida for the
winter."
