WITandWISDOM(tm) - August 4, 1999 ~~~~~~~ THOUGHTS: The way you see people is the way you treat them . . . And the way you treat them is what they become. - Johann W. Von Goeth (E-zine: DAILY HUMOR http://www.onelist.com/subscribe.cgi/Daily-Humor/) ~~~~~~~ SPECIAL THOUGHTS: Stan Buck tells the story about a little girl who, on the way home from church, turned to her mother and said, "Mommy, the preacher's sermon this morning confused me." The mother said, "Oh! Why is that? The girl replied, "Well, he said that God is bigger than we are. Is that true?" "Yes, that's true," the mother replied. "He also said that God lives within us. Is that true too?" Again the mother replied, "Yes." "Well," said the girl. "if God is bigger that us and he lives in us, wouldn't he show through?"

I been trying to hide from it since I was five, but the girls keep finding me." - Dave, age 8 "I'm not rushing into being in love. I'm finding fourth grade hard enough." - Regina, age 10 THE PERSONAL QUALITIES YOU NEED TO HAVE IN ORDER TO BE A GOOD LOVER "Sensitivity don't hurt." - Robbie, age 8 "One of you should know how to write a check. Because, even if you have tons of love, there is still going to be a lot of bills." - Ava, age 8 SOME SUREFIRE WAYS TO MAKE A PERSON FALL IN LOVE WITH YOU "Tell them that you own a whole bunch of candy stores." - Del, age 6 "Yell out that you love them at the top of your lungs . . . and don't worry if their parents are right there." - Manuel, age 8 "Don't do things like have smelly, green sneakers. You might get attention, but attention ain't the same thing as love." - Alonzo, age 9 "One way is to take the girl out to eat. Make sure it's something she likes to eat. French fries usually works for me." - Bart, age 9 (Walt Groff) ~~~~~~~ KEEP SMILING: One day in our church we decided it would be a great idea for the kids to get up in front of the congregation and get "formally introduced", so everyone would know what child belonged to what parents. We had a list of questions to ask them. What's your mom's name? What's your dad's name? How old are you? What grade are you in? What do you want to be when you grow up? When we asked three-year-old Brandon this last question, he replied, "I want to be a Mommy."

The vacuum will suck the object up and it will be held on the nylon stocking. When you turn the vacuum off, the item will fall from the hose into your hands.
