My dsis and bil were at a small dog friendly restaurant recently after a hospital appointment. Dsis and me felt hungry but bil decided to take the dog for a walk while we both had a food in the restaurant.
Almost finished and bil came back and sat outside in the dog friendly area and ordered a coffee while waiting for us.
We finished and went outside and joined bil in doggy area.
He went inside and when he came back out I asked him why he went inside. He said I went to tell them I’d left my cup outside.
I said why didn’t you take your cup with you been as you went in then.
He felt a bit foolish and we all burst out laughing when he realised what he’d just done.

I decided to drive to the country park instead of walking there as I usually do. I enjoyed the walk round the park. When I arrived home I realised I'd left the car at the park.

I was putting stale bread out on the lawn for the birds with my mother and I remarked that some of the bread was rock hard.
My mother replied "It's good for their teeth."

I know a retired primary school teacher and they told me that when their headteacher took the lead from Jamie Oliver's healthy school meals initiative, some of the parents were very angry when they were told that the children could only bring water into school to drink. One parent tried to get a doctor's letter saying that their child could only drink cola as they were allergic to water. Another parent complained that the school was making their child eat leaves.

This exchange happened years ago and it still makes me laugh .
It's particularly funny to me because my mother was so prim and proper and also naive at times .
Two guys were doing some work for her .
They came into the kitchen to say that they had finished and for their payment .
My mother asked one guy if he wanted to wash his tool in the sink .
They both laughed so much .
She looked totally blank .

We were waiting in-line for coffee from a small machine at the back of our church. It was a very slow process, dripping slowly into the cups. My husband queried whether the coffee machine had a prostate problem.
