The father of five children had won a toy at a raffle.
He called his kids together to ask which one should have the present.
“Who is the most obedient?” he asked. “Who never talks back to Mother? Who does everything she says?”

Five small voices answered in unison. “Okay, dad, you get the toy.”
My friend borrowed me $500
Yesterday a friend called and asked if I could loan her $500 to help her pay her rent.
I wanted to be helpful to someone in such need.
I told her, “Let me check my account and I’ll call you right back.”
Before I could double-check, her sister called and said, “Don’t give her any money because she’s lying.”
Her sister told me that she wanted to use the $500 to get her boyfriend out of jail so they can be together for her birthday.
I thought about it for a minute, then decided to go ahead and give her the $500.
A few minutes ago, she called me from the local jail, crying about being arrested.
She started screaming, asking, “Why did you give me counterfeit money?!”
…

I replied, “So you and your man could be together for your birthday.”
