You obsess when your child clings to you upon parting during his first month at school, then obsess when he skips in without looking back the second time. 20. You can't bear to give away baby clothes - it's so final. 21. You hear your mother's voice coming out of your mouth when you say, "Not in your good clothes!" 22. You stop criticizing the way your mother raised you. (Shared by Just 4 Laughs!

While standing in the middle of the RR tracks one day, he hears this whistle - Whooee da Whoee! - but doesn't know what it is. Predictably, he's hit - but, only a glancing blow - and is thrown, head-over- heals, to the side of the tracks, with some minor internal injuries, a few broken bones, and some bruises. After weeks in the hospital recovering, he's at his friend's house attending a party, one evening. While in the kitchen, he suddenly hears the tea kettle whistling. He grabs a baseball bat from the nearby closet and proceeds to batter and bash the tea kettle into an unrecognizable lump of metal. His friend, hearing the ruckus, rushes into the kitchen, sees what's happened and asks the desert man: "Why'd you ruin my good tea kettle?" The desert man replies: "Man, you gotta kill these things when they're small."
