LAUGHTER IS LIKE A GOOD MEDICINE

GOD’S GOOD NEWS GAZETTE STAFF

This issue encompasses two major holidays that we truly enjoy celebrating: Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. As a result, we have opted to include two items this time that we hope will tickle your Funny Bone!

Mother’s Dictionary of Meanings

Dumbwaiter: One who asks if the kids would like to order dessert.

Puddle: A small body of water that draws other small bodies wearing dry shoes into it.
