For a smile as wide as a country sunrise

Hello everyone! I hope you are having a wonderful day. I thought perhaps we could have a little more humor to end our day, or for some of you, to begin your day. So sit back, relax and maybe have a chuckle or two. These are from my long list of jokes I have accumulated over the years. They are not something I made up myself however. I’m not quite that clever. Anyway, enjoy!
Three sons left home, went out on their own and prospered. Getting back together, they discussed the gifts they were able to give their elderly mother.
The first said, “I built a big house for our mother.”
The second said, “I sent her a Mercedes with a driver.”
The third smiled and said, “I’ve got you both beat. You remember how mom enjoyed looking up definitions of words in the dictionary all the time? And you know she can’t see very well anymore. So I sent her a remarkable parrot that recites the entire dictionary. I hired some people and it took them 10 years to teach him. He’s one of a kind. Mama just has to name the word, and the parrot recites the definition.”
Soon thereafter, mom sent out her letters of thanks:
“Milton,” she wrote one son, “The house you built is so huge. I live in only one room, but I have to clean the whole house.”
“Gerald,” she wrote to another, “I am too old to travel. I stay most of the time at home, so I rarely use the Mercedes. And the driver is so rude!”
“Dearest Donald,” she wrote to her third son, “You have the good sense to know what your mother likes”.
“The chicken was delicious.”
Last year I entered a marathon. The race started and immediately I was the last of the runners. It was embarrassing.
The guy who was in front of me, second to last, was making fun of me. He said, “Hey buddy, how does it feel to be last?”
I replied: “You really want to know?”
Then I dropped out of the race.
I hope you have enjoyed a chuckle or two. Have a great day and God bless!
Steve and Muffin.

The poor parrot didn’t stand a chance against mom. Yet mom was happy in the end.
This reminded me of the Peppa Pig Christmas episode. George gets a race track for Christmas, and Grandma Pig says something along the lines… “I think George is having more fun playing with the cardboard box” (that the toy came in). In other words, it’s all about perspective. 🙌
