While taking a routine vandalism
report at an elementary school, I was interrupted by a little girl about six
years old. Looking up and down at my uniform, she asked, "Are you a cop?"
"Yes," I answered and continued writing the report.
"My mother said if I
ever needed help I should ask the police. Is that right?"
"Yes, that's
right," I told her.
"Well, then," she said as she extended her foot toward
me, "would you please tie my shoe?"
*******************************************************************
It
was the end of the day when I parked my police van in front of the station. As
I gathered my equipment, my K-9 partner, Jake, was barking, and I saw a little
boy staring in at me. "Is that a dog you got back there?" he asked. "It sure
is," I replied. Puzzled, the boy looked at me and then towards the back of the
van. Finally he said, "What'd he do?"
****************************************************************
While
working for an organization that delivers lunches to elderly shut-ins, I used
to take my four-year-old daughter on my afternoon rounds.
The various
appliances of old age, particularly the canes, walkers and wheelchairs,
unfailingly intrigued her. One day I found her staring at a pair of false teeth
soaking in a glass. As I braced myself for the inevitable barrage of questions,
she merely turned and whispered, "The tooth fairy will never believe this!"
*****************************************************************
A little girl was watching her parents dress for a party. When she saw
her dad donning his tuxedo, she warned, "Daddy, you shouldn't wear that suit."
"And why not, darling?" "You know that it always gives you a headache next
morning."
******************************************************************
While walking along the sidewalk in front of his church, our minister heard the
intoning of a prayer that nearly made his collar wilt. Apparently his
five-year-old son and his playmates had found a dead robin. Feeling that proper
burial should be performed, they had secured a small box and cotton batting,
then dug a hole and made ready for the disposal of the deceased. The minister's
son was chosen to say the appropriate prayers and with sonorous dignity intoned
his version of what he thought his father always said. "Glory be unto the
Faaaatherand unto the Sonnnn. . . and into the hole you goooo."
**************************************************************
To
close each day's activities in summer and on holidays in the Magic Kingdom at
Walt Disney World at Lake Buena Vista, Fla., a huge fireworks display lights up
the sky. One night I noticed a small boy about three years old perched on his
father's shoulder. The child sat mesmerized, aware only of what was exploding
in the heavens. When the fireworks were over, the little boy looked up into the
sky again and said, "Thank you, God."
******************************************************************
My
best lesson in child psychology came when I saw our five-year-old, Steven,
roughly jerking our toy poodle's leash. Suddenly his fuming father appeared and
asked, "Do you want to tell me how sorry you are?"
"I don't know how much
you saw!" Steven stammered.
******************************************************************
When my wife quit work to take care of our new baby daughter, countless hours
of peek-a-boo and other games slowly took their toll. One evening she smacked
her bare toes on the corner of a dresser and, grabbing her foot, sank to the
floor. I rushed to her side and asked where it hurt. She looked at me through
tear-filled eyes and managed to moan, "It's the piggy that ate roast beef."
*************************************************************
A little girl had just finished her first week of school. "I'm wasting my
time," she said to her mother.
"I can't read, I can't write - and they
won't let me talk!"
************************************************************************
One day Mother sent my little brother to the post office to mail a
letter. A few minutes later he came back with a suspicious smile on his face.
"What happened?" my mother asked. "I just fooled the people at the post office.
When no one was looking, I dropped the letter into the box without buying any
stamps."
