Wednesday Funny

11 PEOPLE ON A ROPE
Eleven people were hanging on a rope,under a helicopter.
10 men and 1 woman.
The rope was not strong enough to carry them all,
so they decided that one had to leave
because otherwise they were all going to fall.
They weren't able to choose that person,until the woman gave a very touching speech.
She said that she would voluntarily let go of the rope,
because,as a woman, she was used to giving up everything
for herhusband and kids or for men in general, and was
used to always making sacrifices with little in return.
As soon as she finished her speech,
all the men started clapping ......

Valentine Craft Idea

This one is really cute for young children.
Box of Kisses

Materials
Small Box - small earring or matchbox,Wrapping Paper,Ribbon


Take a small box open it and get your child to 'blow kisses' inside.
Close quickly so none can escape!!
Wrap the box in gift paper and tie with some festive ribbon.

These can be given as gifts to keep or even hang them on a Christmas tree as a decoration.
Its a simple idea but very touching and what Grandma or Grandad wouldn't want something so special. You just couldn't buy that sort of gift, its priceless

Hint
Add a gift card that says "Filled with kisses from (child's name)" or have your child put a small handprint on the card.
