Life is Grand

Hey folks! Today’s southern chuckle comes to us compliments of my friend John at the Good Clean Funnies List, that’s . Do yourself a favor and check it out. You can subscribe and get a nice clean free joke delivered to your email box every single morning.  Oh, and did I mention it would be clean? Yeah, that’s my favorite part.

By the way, if you have a favorite joke or family story you’d like me to share with the All Things Southern community, feel free to drop me an email. That’s and I do so love to hear from y’all. We now return you to our regularly scheduled funny.

I’ll be honest with y’all. I love this story but I’ve been somewhat undecided about sharing it with y’all because it’s from the “Kids Say the Darndest Things” file. I realize we’ve done a good many of those in the last couple of weeks and I didn’t want to overdo it. On the other hand, I really did chuckle aloud when I read it, and that made it too irresistible to keep to myself. If you’ve ever been a grandchild or had a grandchild, I think you’ll like this one. The way I see it, that’s bound to cover most of my audience. I know. I’m such a heavy thinker.

The lady who wrote into GCFL with this funny reports that one fine day she was out bicycling with her eight-year-old granddaughter, Carolyn, when she got a little wistful.”Carolyn,” she said, “in ten years you’ll want to be with your friends and you won’t go walking, biking, and swimming with me like you do now.”

The little girl shrugged and responded with wisdom that was hard to refute. “Yes’m,” she said, “But in ten years you’ll be too old to do all those things anyway.”
Hugs, Shellie
