    I saw this in a magazine once so you might know it but its adorable! A little girl notices her mother has a few white hairs so she asks her mother why she has them.

    Her mother says, “everytime you do something wrong, or make me upset I get a white hair.” The girl thinks for a moment and then says, “How come ALL of Bubbys hair is white?”

    “But then again, when I was in high school, we still had to chisel our assignments onto stone tablets.”-

    Ha, how many lines did you get:)

    But im not as old as you….and i find it quite surprising that schools are advocating internet, and what if someone doesn’t have it? They switch schools?

    “Well, I have three high schoolers at home right now. All of them have school assignments that require the use of the internet.”

    Thats interesting, when I was in high school i was able to do my assignments without internet…Do they really must use it or is it a matter of convenience? Just curious if now its mandatory to use internet for schoolwork.

    ICOT- this is my comprehension of the answers without looking at the riddle itself! Now thats a talent, Ok here goes…

    1) “Are the odds even?”- As far as im concerned odd #’s are odd and even #’s are even, no riddle can interchange that! So the answer is NO!

    2) “If not, who has a better chance of winning?”- odds are odds and even is even so thats fifty fifty, so its equal!

    3)”How do you calculate the odds?” easy, start from one and skip every other one, for example 1,3,5,7….

    4)”Bonus: can you calculate the odds with an equation?”- hmmmmm, well its extra credit so i guess its fine if i skip this one.

    “Ginohs of BP”

    BP Totty, yes they have good healthy pizza (i happen to know the family well, seems like you know them too:) But last I heard they closed either temporary or permanent (not sure). But other stores should adopt their recipe, they used little oil (olive) made their tomato sauce from scratch…

    Anyway i can’t remember the last i had pizza <sigh>. For some reason its not the #1 thing on diets…

    Arc- its hopeles:) This discussion went on in other threads. im telling you, you cant convince SJS otherwise. Believe me I and others tried… (no offense SJS everyone is entitled to their own opinion)

    But SJS just parroting mod. 80, you do have to be dan lekaf zechus and respect other ppls decisions too. You definitely dont know whas going on in other homes. Your way works for you not for everyone else. Yikes! I better get out of this discussion real fast….

    “Most kids don’t care about the physical report card all that much”

    WIY- i disagree. Kids that are concious of their marks and try hard do like to see it. It also gives them a boost to see their hard work pay off. This thread was started because a child did not receive his report card and just doesn’t want to try hard again for this yr. because he didn’t get to see his previous results. my heart really goes out to this child because obviously for HIM and im sure others it make a difference when something is witheld. In addition it is also embarrasing as classmates discuss their marks (typical human nature fore kids even though its not so smart) and you are left out because of s/t you can’t control.

    This thread wasn’t started about why there is a lack of tuition (SJS- i was waiting for your comment on cleaning help:) It was just an ethical question, can a school withhold something forom the child? Will that generate more $?

    I live in NY, i guess im not as patriotic as the other posters here…Sometimes its easy to kvetch and complain about certain things, and a great friend of mine (from out of town) moved to NY a couple years ago and said that she loves NY. Where she is coming from, where else is there a grocery on every corner, so many shuls, yeshivohs….It really put me in my place. She is so right, and since then i think before complaining.

    Believer, for some reason (maybe Im wrong) i get the impression that your making it sound like a disdainful task that you must do to interview a holocaust survivor. Its not just 5 questions that you have to ask for school, and then poof, you did your homework. This is an extremely important assignment and i hope you interview them with respect and consideraton they deserve- not like a burden. Wishing you upmost Hatzlacha.

    Someone was asking for a reference for a girl (who has thinnish hair), and one person said “she is a great girl, and the only chisaron maybe that she has is that she doesn’t have great hair.” The boy really was not interested bec. he once went out with someone who had real frizzy hair and it was awful! Anyway as he went up to the house he was already thinking its not going to be, and wasa absolutely terrified how the girl would look. Anyway he opened the door and took a cautious peek….and now they are happily married B”H. Just goes to show how you have to be careful when giving over info!

    Someone went out with this girl and the guy was trying to make small talk in the car with her but the only answer she said was “yes, no, Ok, fine…” After an hour he asked her if she would mind if he takes her home. She said “OK” Well he knew he didn’t hurt her feelings because she asked for a second date because she liked his sense of humor! (no they are not married but i know that the boy is married)

    Here is another old one

    An elderly couple is in a restaurant and you could tell that they were poor. The husband orders one pizza, one thing of fries, and one coke. A man comes over and politely offers $, but the man refuses saying, ” oh its fine my wife and I we share everything.” The man then cuts the pizza exactly in half gives one half to him and the other to his wife. Then again does the same to the fries and then puts 2 straws in the one coke. Again the man offered to pay but again the man declined saying that he and his wife share everything. This happened a few times. In the meantime the man was eating while his wife sat silently sipping her coke, not eating anything. Finally the man, frustrated turned to the wife and said, “I offered your hubby $ but he refused saying you share everything, but I see that you are not eating anything, what are you waiting for? Her answer- “THE TEETH!”
