| Day 1.
According to today’s
regulators and bureaucrats, those of us who were kids (or piglets) in the
1930s, 1940s, 1950s and even 1960s, 1970s and the early 1980s should not
have survived! For those who have come along since then, Mo presents: “I
Can’t Believe We Made It” for Today: We hitchhiked. We survived.
Mo’s Good Advice From Kids for Today: Don’t pick on your sister when
she’s holding a baseball bat.
Mo’s good friend, Steve Kelly, from Tennessee sent these for us all to
enjoy. We’ll call them our “Out of the Mouths of Babes” Answers for
Today: In reply to the question, “What’s the difference between moms and
dads?” answers from the little ones in the Sunday School Kindergarten
class included: “Moms work at work and work at home. Dads just got to
work at work. “Moms know how to talk to teachers without scaring them.”
Day 2.
In Japan, they have replaced the impersonal and unhelpful computer
error message with Haiku poetry message. Mo knows about Haiku. (It has
strict construction rules with only 17 syllables allowed in each poem; 5
syllables in the first line, 7 syllables in the second line and 5 in the
third line.)
Mo presents actual error messages from Japan: “Program aborting. Clowe
all that you have worked on. You ask far too much.”
Mo’s Good Advice From Kids for Today: When you get a bad grade in
school, show it to your Mom while she’s on the phone.

Today: In reply to the question, “What’s the difference between moms and
grandmas?” answers from the little ones in the Sunday School Kindergarten
class included: “About 30 years.” “You can always count on grandmothers
for candy. Sometimes moms don’t even have bread with them.”
Day 3.
According to today’s regulators and bureaucrats, those of us who were
kids (or piglets) in the 1930s, 1940s, 1950s and even 1960s, 1970s and the
early 1980s should not have survived! For those who have come along since
then, Mo presents: “I Can’t Believe We Made It” for Today: We had
friends! We went outside and found them. We had fun and we survived.
Bubba sent this one: Two ministers were standing by the side of the
road pounding a sign into the ground that reads: “The End is near! Turn
yourself around now and be saved before it is too late!”
“Leave us alone!” yelled a driver as he sped by. From around the curve
the ministers heard the sound of screeching tire and a big splash.
One of the ministers turns to the other and asks, “Do you think the
sign should just say ‘Bridge Out?’”
Bubba!
Day 4.
Mo’s good friend, Buck Buchanan from Vacaville, California – a
decorated World War II Flying Ace and hero – sent along his personal
rules and truths about healthy eating. Mo is glad to share Buck’s insight
and knowledge with you! Finally, a diet and lifestyle Mo can do!
Buck’s Healthy Eating Truths: (Mo knows that these are for fun! Please
do not take these to your doctor and ask him if you can adopt this way of
life and eating!)
Buck tells us how to calculate body/fat ratios: If you have a body and
you have body fat, your ratio is one to one. If you have two bodies, your
ration is two to one, etc.
Oink?
While attending a marriage seminar on communication, Bubba and Mrs.
Bubba listened to the instructor declare, “It is essential that husbands
and wives know the things that are important to each other.”
The instructor asked Bubba, “Can you describe your wife’s favorite
flower?”
Our Bubba leaned over, touched Mrs. Bubba’s arm gently and whispered,
“Marthy White Self-Risin’, ain’t it?”
Day 5.

error message with Haiku poetry message. Mo knows about Haiku. (It has

third line.)
Mo presents actual error messages from Japan: “Windows NT crashed. I
am the Blue Screen of Death. No one hears your screams.”
Things Mo Has Learned As He Has Matured: I’ve learned that you cannot
make someone love you. All you can do is stalk them and hope they panic
and give in.
Mo’s good friend, Steve Kelly, from Tennessee sent these for us all to
enjoy. We’ll call them our “Out of the Mouths of Babes” Answers for
Today: In reply to the assignment, “Describe the world’s greatest mom,”
answers from the little ones in the Sunday School Kindergarten class

always smile and keep her opinions to herself.” |
