~~~~~~~ KEEP SMILING:
Every Saturday morning Grandpa Walt found himself babysitting his three grandchildren...all boys. The kids always wanted to play ''war'' and Grandpa somehow always got coaxed into the game. His daughter came to pick up the kids early one Saturday and witnessed Grandpa take a fake shot as Jason pointed a toy gun and yelled, Bang!'' Grandpa slumped to the floor and stayed there motionless. The daughter rushed over to see if he was alright. Grandpa opened one eye and whispered, ''Sh-h-h, I always do this. It's the only chance I get to rest.''

~~~~~~~ TRIVIA:
Why do mushrooms sometimes grow in a circle?
Mushrooms are the reproductive part of a fungus that lives underground. The underground part, called the mycelium, starts at one point and grows outward in all directions. As it grows, it uses up nutrients, leaving behind a "dead zone" in the center.
When the fungus reproduces, it sends up the mushrooms in a ring-shaped pattern, just behind the leading edge of the growing mycelium. These rings are called "fairy rings" and can grow very large. One in France is about 600 meters across, and is thought to be 700 years old!
