GROW TALL LITTLE MAN

DAY 1

JOEY: Mama, I want to grow taller. Whats hould I do?

MAMA: Eat the right food, get enough sleep, and let's pray.

(So, Joey prays and dutifully goes to sleep right away)


DAY 2

JOEY (as soon as he opens his eyes): Mama! Did I grow taller?

Cut-to: evening, during dinner time

JOEY (worried and serious) Mama, Tahnee and Joshua said I shrank. I think you need to get me STAND HIGH HEIGHT ENHANCERS.

MAMA: What is that?

JOEY: It's a special kind of sandal with a cream that makes your feet grow tall. It's from China. I saw it on the TV!

MAMA: Joey, I wouldn't want to be taller only because I had really fat feet. Anyway, I don't think that's true.

JOEY: Mama, it's true! The Chinese are really taller than Filipinos.

from the kid's menu

Waiter: Try the "Happy Turkey" sandwich, ma'am. It's a favorite among children.

Mama: You want to try the "Happy Turkey" sandwich, Joey?

Joey: How can it be happy if it's dead?
