A childhood without books – that would be no childhood. That would be like being shut out from the enchanted place where you can go and find the rarest kind of joy.”

What Children say.....................
The shortest distance between two people is a smile.
Victor Borge
Sweet and funny quotes from children:
"And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us some email." -- 4 year old girl, misquoting the Lord's Prayer
A boy calls his granny to wish her Happy Birthday. He asks her how old she is and she tells him: "62". The boy is quiet for a moment, then he asked. "Did you start at 1?"
A Sunday school teacher was discussing the Ten Commandments with her five and six year olds. After explaining the commandment to "honor" thy Father and thy Mother, she asked, "Is there a commandment that teaches us how to treat our brothers and sisters?" Without missing a beat, one little boy answered, "Thou shall not kill."
A father was reading Bible stories to his young son. He read, "The man named Lot was warned to take his wife and flee out of the city, but his wife looked back and was turned to salt." His son asked, "What happened to the flea?"
Kids about Love and Marriage :
"It gives me a headache to think about that stuff. I'm just a kid. I don't need that kind of trouble." -- Kenny, age 7
"I'm in favor of love as long as it doesn't happen when Dinosaurs is on television." -- Jill, age 6
"Love is the most important thing in the world, but baseball is pretty good too." -- Greg, age 8
"If falling in love is anything like learning how to spell, I don't want to do it. It takes too long." -- Glenn, age 7
"When a person gets kissed for the first time, they fall down, and they don't get up for at least an hour." -- Wendy, age 8
"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
"Don't forget your wife's name. That will mess up the love." -- Erin, age 8
And here's Erin again.
"Be a good kisser. It might make your wife forget that you never take out the trash." -- Erin, age 8
Kids about Science:
"South America has cold summers and hot winters, but somehow they still manage."
"Water freezes at 32 degrees and boils at 212 degrees. There are 180 degrees between freezing and boiling because there are 180 degrees between north and south."
"There are 26 vitamins in all, but some of the letters are yet to be discovered. Finding them all means living forever."
"There is a tremendous weight pushing down on the center of the Earth because of so much population stomping around up there these days."
"Many dead animals in the past changed to fossils, while others preferred to be oil."
"Genetics explain why you look like your father, and if you don't why you should."
Exam and papers of young students:
"The Magna Carta provided that no free men should be hanged twice for the same offense."
"Sir Walter Raleigh is a historical figure because he invented cigarettes."
"Milton wrote 'Paradise Lost.' Then his wife dies, and he wrote 'Paradise Regained.
"Under the Constitution the people enjoyed the right to keep bare arms."
"Queen Victoria's reclining years and finally the end of her life were exemplatory of a great personality."
"Without Greeks, we wouldn't have history."
"One myth says that the mother of Achilles dipped him in the River Stynx until he became intollerable."
"In the Olympics Games, Greeks ran races jumped, hurled the biscuits, and threw the java."
Have fun!

Mini Tiger
A cat's got her own opinion of human beings.
She don't say much, but you can tell enough
to make you curious not to hear the whole of it.

The Horse
There is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man.
Winston Churchill.
The daughter who won't lift a finger in the house is the same child who cycles madly off in the pouring rain to spend all morning mucking out a stable.

Omens about Winter
The crow is a wise bird - it takes care not to get too close to humans. According to the omen there will be hard frost and driving snow, if the crows seek to town.
If many eiders gather in the inlet, the winter will be severe.
The winter will become hard if the wren seeks to human homes.
If you see the herons standing along brooks and water streams inside the country at autumn and winter time the cold will be hard and the winter will draw out.
If the mice gather much corn the winter will be hard.
Finally a positive one:
If the swans migrate north in January , spring will arrive early.
Notice 22. January:
Much sun on that day is a sign of that winter will soon be over.

Quote of the Day
A beautiful ship by Møns Klint
The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe is as good as dead; his eyes are closed.
Albert Einstein.

Quote of the Day
Dachshound loses a stick in the brook
Mom gets hold of it with her umbrella
A blind bloke walks into a shop with a guide dog. He picks the dog up and starts swinging it around his head. Alarmed a shop assistant calls out: "Can I help, sir?" "No thanks," says the blind bloke. "Just looking."
