Jack and the flowers


It was the first of September. It was the beginning of the new school year. Parents were taking their children to school.

Jack had a very special day because it was his first day in first grade. It was early in the morning and the whole family was helping the boy prepare for his school day. The grandmother made a delicious breakfast, the mother ironed his suit and shirt and the father helped his son pack his school bag.

The morning was cloudy and rainy. Once the whole family got dressed before leaving the house, the grandmother took the flowers from the vase that she had picked for the teacher. The flowers had not blossomed yet and had buds, which surprised Jack a lot. Looking at the flowers in amazement, he asked:

Grandma, why do we give flowers with buds to the teacher?

So that they last longer in the vase, she answered.

He thought for a moment and then said:

Then we have to give her seeds!

Ants and cockroaches


The Smiths lived on the outskirts of a small town. Their apartment building was very old and had to be renovated. In their rundown apartment there were a lot of cockroaches and ants. Annoying insects made the whole familys life difficult. When Mrs. Smith cooked food, huge brown cockroaches crawled around the kitchen. Insects crawled around in the bath when the daughter Emma washed herself. Mr. Smith even found huge ants in his clothes when he went to work.

One day the neighbors came to visit the Smiths. At dinner, everyone discussed various topics, including the annoying insects. One of the visitors, Mrs. Black, said that she had once read in the newspaper that ants and cockroaches could not live together in one room. Mrs. Smith was very surprised, because there were ants and cockroaches in their apartment. Suddenly Emma interrupted the conversation:

Mom, maybe the cockroaches and ants have not met yet?!

The theory of evolution


Little John was a very curious boy. He was interested in everything that surrounded him. He constantly asked his parents questions about space, animals and plants. Johns parents were very patient and educated people who wanted to answer all their son's questions.

One day the father decided to explain the theory of evolution to him. Since John was only five years old, his father tried to explain in simple words:

Your great-great-great-grandfather was descended from monkeys.

Perplexed, the boy answered:

Really!? I thought people were descended from aliens.

Of course not! A famous scientist proved that our ancestors were monkeys.

A day later, the father decided to check his sons understanding of what he had learned. He asked his son to explain the meaning of Darwin's theory. John answered cheerfully:

Dad, of course I understood everything, I'm not stupid after all! My great-grandfather was a monkey!

Granny's teeth


A lot of parents often face the problem that their children refuse to eat healthy food, such as porridge or soup. The Miller family was no exception. The mother was constantly worried, as her daughter ate very badly. The family members wanted to teach the girl to finish her meals.

One day the girl began to play up as usual:

Eat your own beetroot with meatballs, it's disgusting! I want chocolate!

The mother of the child was tired from work and tried to make a deal with her daughter:

Once you have eaten your food, then you will get some chocolate and can go for a walk with your friend. If you dont, then you will be punished: you will not get chocolate and will have to stay at home alone to play.

Without another word, her mother left the kitchen. The stubborn girl burst into tears, pushed the plate away, pouted and went silent. The grandmother was always very worried when her granddaughter cried, so she decided to calm the sad child down:

Don't worry, honey! When I was a child, I also did not want to eat healthy food. My mother scolded me and even punished me, hitting me on the bottom or on the back of the neck and I had to stand in the corner.

Suddenly the girl wiped her tears and said compassionately:

Ah, grandma, that's why you're wearing false teeth!
